Anticipation

Published

Hi,

My name is Jasmine and I start a BSN program at St. John Fisher on Jan 24. I will have two years left and I am very excited to start! For those of you in a BSN program now, what can I expect?

Expect not to have any life in the next two years. Prepare to dream of nursing books and anything to do with nursing school.

Good luck!

You can expect to be thrown assigned readings you can't possibly finish. You will be agitated

because your nursing exams are going to be all about selecting the "best" answer out of

all really good answers on your multiple-choice exam. You will often pray

that you get at least a [inset minimum grade to pass]. You will find your mind blown

trying to make the care plan. You will study for hours and find that the exam is not as cut and dry

like your a&p, patho, biology exam.

Tip: Get a good NCLEX-RN study guide to use during nursing school. You want to get as much exposure to

nursing-style questions before you get the harsh reality when exam time comes.
