I can't wait for third and fourth semesters but I'm wondering if it's true what I hear seasoned nursing students at CSN saying: if you survived first semester, the rest is not that hard? Okay, well I figure I will take it as it goes. But that first semester was rough! I am thrilled that I got a "B"! (Even though it completely lowered my GPA--3.0 x 6 credits --holy cow! but I never thought I'd be happy about that! haha). Does anyone get A's? (Or should I permanently swallow my pride and never look at my GPA again?LOL) But what I really mean is, does it get easier in anyway? How is second semester?? What is one thing that first-to-second semester transitioners should know! Any insight would be great!

Hi,
The second semester was hard as compare to first. But u will get thru it if u will study really hard. My best advise READ ur book, u will get notes from class, test review and lecture slides but read your book with all other study material.
When you will start a new body system in the book, the first chapter is A&P , u dont have to read that according to instructor but i will suggest read it. That s wat i did, and i was the only one in my study group who read those A&P chapters, i am happy that i was never under stress during the 2nd semester and i attended 2 or 3 classes..
If you have any question about the second semester let me know. i will happy to answer it.

Did you attend the lectures or just read the book? Also were there many papers to write during the second semester?
hi,
i just attended 2 or 3 lectures but i read my book, i mean all the chapters 3 times before every test. there were not too many papers for clinical, just 4 care plans, one nutritional, cardio and education plan papers, really easy papers. no paper for class, but u have to pass lab with 75%, there will be quizzes, practical, final quiz and physical assessment. let me know if u have more questions.:cheers:
Best of luck to everyone for Spring 2008.
