4 Months before starting nursing school, what would you have done?

[trryt4ssasfgb34]

Hey,

So i am starting nursing school (RN.. then eventually do RN->BScn Bridge) in Ontario in Sep 09 (Still waiting for additional waiting list acceptances), i am 21 btw.

If you could go back in time, what things/issues would have done to prep yourself for the experience?

So far i have the following:

- Read other Male Nurse experiences here.

- Review some basic sciences

- Research some potential books i may need.

In preparation? Enjoy your summer. Hang out with friends, find a nice patio and make it home.

Once school starts...then the fun begins.

Everyone will know your name before you know theirs...get used to it.

You screw up once and ALL your classmates will hear about it (Girls talk...a lot)

Don't expect "let's not tell anyone about this" to work...see above point.

There will be times that you will sit there and think to yourself..."Really? Are females truly this crazy?" and the answer is yes, they are. If God didn't make them soft and attactive and fantastic smelling our species would be in trouble.

Enjoy nursing school. I had a great time and hope you do to

I'm very interested in the thread. I'm a hopeful for the summer '12 accelerated BSN program in florida and curious what would be beneficial to study or do before starting the program. I've had my fun and hanged out with buds...now just want to get down to the knitty gritty :)

there's a book that came to my attention by one of the nursing students during his clinical rotation, it's titled "becoming a nurse" by mary e. muscari, phd,cpnp, aprn-bc. btw he said the book was not expensive, check it out before you buy it... wishing you the best in all of your future endeavors...aloha~
