El Centro RN fall 2009

Hello, I will begin the ADN/RN program at El Centro this fall. My AP II professor, that I absolutely adore, told me that in the program the professor's are going to purposely be difficult and demanding. Professor said that they will put lots of emotional and mental stress on student in an effort to "weed" out those that cannot handle the stress. Wow, I always hear about how tough the professors are, but having my professor tell me this really confirms it for me. I am going to make sure that I practice being emotionally neutral and practice keeping my focus on the goal. Any advice on how to handle the stress from the professors is needed. I can pretty much deal with the educational stress such as chapters, work, learning-I work hard and study hard! I want to make sure I prepare myself emotionally for the upcoming challenges that these professors will present!
