The curriculum heavily focuses on nursing theory to the max.  In retrospect, the program did not prepare me to how to work as a nurse.  (I've never had to use nursing theory at all).  That said, watch videos that show you how to do IV's, how to do wound care, hanging primary and secondary bags and setting them up in an Alaris Pump, how to use EPIC.  On your own time, definitely learn about the mechanisms of action for pharmacy, and tie it to other biological processes that explain the causes and treatments of the common illnesses you'll see (ie. diabetes, pulmonary hypertension, heart failure, strokes, dementia, deep vein thrombosis, cirrhosis, and kidney failure - tie together how sodium, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and/or phosphate affect (or are affected) by those illnesses).  Just remember that potassium and magnesium mostly affect heart rhythms.  Those are pretty much the high yield things I've been using at work.  I feel nursing school programs in general need to be reformed so that it's more in line with the medical models that are taught at pharmacy, medical, dental schools.  You'll be fine!

I also got waitlisted and am curious to know how likely it is for seats to open up😔

I saw on reddit that someone got placed at 12. I'm not too sure how much further it goes beyond that
