Characteristics of a Nursing Student

Published

Hey there everyone!

I would just love to hear what characteristics/qualities of a person make them a good candidate for nursing school. Is it study habits, work ethic, etc.

Also, I would love to hear study tips for nursing school.

Thank you!

I had several students in my first prereq class that were going in to nursing. We were all fanatical about our grades! The teacher laughed at us because we were always asking what we could do for extra credit, ect.

The ability to keep your eyes open when you're so exhausted you don't know how you'll make it? :p

Patience, determination, serious work ethic, and the promise to yourself to have fun with it all.
