Congratulations to you both!! You are in for the ride of your life but the most rewarding career in my opinion...some advice find study buddies early on and take Nurs skills 201 class every semester and get in there as much as you can...the first semester is tough but so not impossible if you dedicate yourself to getting through this program successfully...I am heading into the fourth semester in Fall 2012 and our class is very welcoming to our new "baby nurses" (we are the senior baby nurses Lolz) congrats again!!!

I am SO excited!! I know this is going to be rough but I've worked hard to get here and I'm going to make it through. Any advice is welcome...as long as it's encouraging. I can't tell you how many people have given me the "kiss you husband and kids goodbye" speech. I know I'm going to have to budget my time differently, but I will make time for my family because they are important. After all, I'm doing this to better our family.

What is the best way to study in nursing school?

Well the "kiss your husband goodbye" speech is dramatic but has basis in truth...the good thing about the program is you have free time after classes before what I call my 5pm cutoff (when my four year old comes home) that you can utilize to study and late at night...I think first semester is the time to get your schedule down and what will work for you. I usually do my studying away from the distractions of home too...when I started in 2011 they had an orientation for our family to attend so I hope they still offer this....!!! It gives your family a good idea on why it's not just the student enrolled in this program it's your family too because it's good to have their support and understanding...

I haven't heard anything about a family orientation, but it sounds like a great idea. How is the first semester schedule as far as clinicals go? What time do they start and end? And none of the classes are on Monday's, is that day pretty much skill lab time/free time/study time?

I didn't get in through the traditional application... but I did apply for a sponsorship with both Memorial and Mercy hospitals and ended up getting selected by both. I just found out today both hospitals accepted me so now I have to make the awkward 'no thank you' phone call. *gulp*

In order to get a sponsorship do you have to be employed by the hospital?

No!! Go talk to the human resources department at hospitals you want to apply for sponsorship and they can give you all the information.
