first nursing semester jitters

Published

Hello everyone, I am starting my first semester of the RN program on January 10th!! yay! It's been a long road!

I have my rolling back pack because I read from other posts its good to have. I will be getting my books tomorrow(I know kind of late, paying out of pocket)-- what else should I be packing on the first day? just my books, paper and pen?

A laptop is a good idea - depending on your note-taking style! Depending on how long your lectures are, I'd advise bringing a few small snacks and a water bottle. :)

Print your syllabus ahead of time and read ahead. Print off any slideshows or notes. Always helped me. Good luck!

I agree that printing out notes ahead of time and reading them always helped me. Have a snack and water bottle too. I also really highly recommend a planner. Make it your bible and write down EVERYTHING.
