Half way there!!

Published

Hello everyone!

i am so excited to be half way through my ADN program. There have been days where I have felt on top of the world and other days that I have had to drag myself out of bed but all in all it has been an amazing journey so far. Rumor has it that next semester will be the toughest of the entire program and that makes me nervous because I have all summer off between now and then. Congratulations to everyone beginning the journey of nursing school!

Does anyone have advice on how to study/review during the summer so I'm not so brain dead when classes begin in August? Any advice is appreciated. :)

Specializes in L&D, infusion, urology.

Congrats! Keep reviewing your notes, really work on the concepts that feel fuzzy, memorize lab values and med stuff you don't already have down, etc. Make sure you really have the fundamentals down, because they make a difference as you continue on. Enjoy the break!!

First semester I studied from the fundamentals book second semester I used med-surg. Your time management gets better but the material gets more difficult. Tests are NCLEX style and they are difficult to understand (I would recommend you buy a NCLEX test success if you don't already have one). Good luck!!!
