Like a first year nursing student? :) Just to give me an idea of how my schedule may be when I start soon. Thank you!

-- Also can you tell me what it was like your first couple of days, what to expect, what to carry with me at all times? What you do to destress? To stay healthy, and fit? Do you stay on campus, or off? How did you work that out?

Thank you again! xoxo

Specializes in i can read really good lol.

My first semester went like this

Monday-Clinicals 6:30-7 , 7-8 eat dinner 8-10 study pharmocology( we always had a 10pt. quiz every Tues morning at 9 am

Tuesday- Pharm- 9-12 usually sleep most of the day then do home work in the afternoon.

Wed- Health Assessment 5-8 usually spend most of the day at school preparing for class or doing home work for online class.

Thursday- 6-9 Fundamentals also usually spend the majority of the day at school doing homework and online class assignments.

Fri, Sat- catch up on life, laundry , assignments

Sunday- pick pt. do drug cards and submit care plan for last weeks pt.

My program is an accelerated masters program so there were always assignments or papers due literally weekly, and they would be 3-10 pg depending on the topic, when i look back I just know relaized how much work that was. So happy to be in my last year.

Tired, moody, brain-fried. Did I mention tired?

As a nursing student do you get any weekends free that you can actually enjoy and not stress over assignments and study?
