10. Get ready for nursing school?

    gonnabeanurse2 replied to Cheryle's topic in General Students

    All of the above advice is great. You have to be completely dedicated to nursing to do well, but in that dedication don't forget to take care of you. Eat well, sleep well, excercise, and learn to let some things go...ie housework...hehe. The best ...
