I am in my first semester of nursing school. I waited 2 years after finishing my prereqs and I was nervous at first, but I love it! The classmates are wonderful, the teachers are so supportive, and I still have plenty of time to spend with my family and still maintain the grade I want. The school is not easy, but is managable. I just wanted to say something positive because I know that it is much easier to be inspired to write about the negative then the positive. Good luck to everyone!!

2nd semester person here! I loved first semester, I love second semester! Maybe because I'm an older student and this is what I have always wanted to do, but even the paperwork...I love doing it! Well gotta go back to the books!

Count me in, I feel the same way! I was rejected the first time and made it a second time around. I am constantly telling everyone I know I am in nursing school and no longer hoping to go!

I am so happy! Currently I too have lots of support from staff, family, friends, etc. and I am a good student. Thus, I am loving Nursing School! :monkeydance:

On the other hand, we are only in first semester and so we are not exactly experiencing everything nursing school has to offer. I am told by advanced semester students that our pace is not as bad as other semesters. Plus, according to my instructors, the expectations are not as high. Apparently starting second semester there will be a great leap from where we are at to where we will be on the first day. However, I am positive about the transition.

I am working very hard right now in order to be used to a particular way of studying. I am happy to say that my exams are NCLEX type, so next semester will not be a cultural shock in that regard. I can't wait to start my Med-Surge rotation because it will be very challenging and I expect to learn and grow a great deal! Good luck to you and keep up the positive attitude!

Very interesting indeed... I am getting the same feedback from the students one semester ahead of me (I'm in semester 1 of 4.)

Well, I've made it this far and adjusted just fine, I have the expectation that I will do the same next semester! I am enjoying nursing school, though I haven't really felt that I loved it per se... maybe because it is stressful.

I am so glad that most of you are enjoying Nursing school. After reading some very negative comments in the past, it scared me. My bachelor of science is in Interior Design-so I will be completely new to this. I will start volunteering this week at my local hospital to see if this is what I want to do. My other career paths were unrewarding and I really want to help people that actually need it-not a bunch of rich people who simply need new wallcovering LOL. Thank you.

I love the fact that I'm done with nursing school--does that count as love?
