How to prep myself for nursing school

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Hello, I recently been accepted into nursing school and I was wondering if anyone can offer me an advice regarding nursing classes and school. I have about 4 months to prep myself. What should I expecting from classes. Should I read the material before school start? I have asked many people around me this question I got mix messages. Also, everyone that I know has been telling how hard nursing school and now I'm depress (big time). I'm scare that I won't make it. How hard is it and would it help if I don't work. I don't have any hospital experience, would this hurt me in nursing school. I think going insane with this, I need you advice and help badly.

"I am starting nursing school!!? They are going to let me loose to work on people when lives hang in the balance.."

I had this dreaded feeling come over me.. like an anxiety attack!!

Don't worry, they don't let you kill people unti the 2nd year ;)

Seriously, you are supervised, you will not be allowed to go in over your head. Don't worry.

I am starting in a few months also. I am so lucky that my sister is a nurse and gives me advice, and I have the chance to learn from nurses like you all on here! Thanks so much!

I wanted to add something to this list. I was driving the other day, pulling out of my street, and it hit me: "I am starting nursing school!!? They are going to let me loose to work on people when lives hang in the balance.." I had this dreaded feeling come over me.. like an anxiety attack!! Freaked me out! Has this happened to any of you?

Even though I haven't start Nursing school, I have been freaking out everyday and it's so hard to get it out of my system. Well, I'm just hanging I there. Couldn't sleep for 3 nights now.

Seriously? I'd go on a vacation. If you can't splurge on that, then go see movies, and read some People magazines. Don't blow your free days now on nursing school! You've got nothing but the next few years to do that. Enjoy yourself now while you still can...
