you will do great... Just study, study, and when you done studying.... study some more! The whole nursing school thing is a process and a test. they throw a care plan at you the same week you have what will feel like the hugest test you have ever taken!! its all a test!! They are trying to prepare you for nursing and STRESS is a BIG part of it along with Time managment, setting priorities, and of course critical thinking.
You can and will do it, just apply yourself.
Study and manage your time wisely. I found my home to be the worst place to study--too many distractions (and bed!) so I holed myself up in the library for hours on end. Get your care maps done early! Study continuously! NAC I is the weed-out course, IMHO. Stay focused. Also, I chanced upon some really great friends and study partners that semester, though I generally do not like studying with a group. It was in fact a huge help.
At least 1/3 of your class will not make it. Making sure you are with the passing group is gonna take work, sweat, tears, and yes a little bit of luck.
