GCU Tucson advice?

Published

Hey everyone! :)

I got accepted into Grand Canyon University's nursing program at the Tucson campus. I'm excited and terrified at the same time lol. I start January 2015. My question is, does anyone have any advice to give on how to prepare for nursing school? Any subjects I should review? I did well in all of my classes but now that I've been accepted I suddenly feel like I don't know anything! :( I may just be overreacting but I would love anyone's advice on how to prepare/survive this program. :)

IMO the biggest difference in nursing school is learning how to take nclex style tests. Other than that it's a bunch of stuff to learn and hoops to jump through. Read some of the threads here on test taking, helped me a lot.

Hello!

My name is Tasha I am a nursing student at GCU in Tucson. This was my first semester. two of your classes are very easy, just show up and you'll pass. The other two, health assessment and Pharmacology you will have tests. For Health assessment and pharmacology you will have to study for, but pharm is a little more difficult. The teachers are great and you will receive a lab bag. So all you will need is a laptop, notebooks, pens, pencils, and your personal stethoscope and scrubs (I recommend two pairs). Take this time to relax and enjoy your free time, come to nursing school as you are, they start you at the beginning.

I just thought of something that my class has found useful! the Saunder Nclex review book, and pharmacology note cards (you're teacher will use both). practice Nclex style question, that is how all your test will be!
