Good luck! :)

Don't be nervous during clinicals. Talk to the staff and learn as much as you can. Always ask for something to do instead of standing around. Other than that, have fun.

As several have said, stay up on reading and studying. Honestly, you can't take a day off from it. Nursing school is very intense; lots of information in a short period of time.
Good luck!

just like what i said to the other poster a couple of days ago...
expect to:
1. not have a social life during the whole program
2. forget about friends and all the hanging out
3. change your study habits to suite the program
4. study constantly
5. have a test almost every day
6. be stressed out
7. gain weight
8. put so much info in your head for a short period of time
9. cry sometimes
10. feel like you want to give up
11. know all the meds out there
12. know all the diseases
13. be proud because you are a hero in training (a future nurse)

Here's my 2 cents worth:
Take the time to read and comprehend what you read
I utilized the library alot! It was quiet, it was just after lecture...still in school mode
Be assertive during clinicals
Help your fellow students or let them help you!
Don't be afraid to ask questions during lecture...you paid for this education!
Best of luck!
Oh yeah, after any finals,a few of us would go to celebrate (release)...felt great!

My best advise is have a supportive friends and family to help you make it through nursing school. It's going to be tough and you may cry, it's normal. Tons of reading, tough instructors, and rough clincals. Life will not be the same for a year.
My best advise is to exercise and to read a head of time. Plus find a group of peers to help you make it through school.
