as this is my first post i will introduce myself. as you can tell by my user name, i'm kim and i was just was accepted to aurora universities bsn program (outside chicago, illinois). i am an adult student heading off to university for the first time and words can not express how excited i am to be living my dream, 20 years after the fact:p. enough about me, the important stuff is below...
i'm writing becasue i would appreciate some advice from people who have already completed at least one semesster of nursing school. what do you wish you would learned, re-learned, reviewed, memorizied, read (you get the idea) in preparation for your first semester? i don't want to p *** my entire summer away, only to arrive at nursing school and wish i would have done this or that.

i wish i would have taken a relaxing trip with family or friends, because i sure don't have the time to do it now. i wish i would have golfed more, rode bike more, played guitar more.
i needed the money, so i worked a lot.
the instructors at your program will let you know what you need to do academically, my guess it will probably involve getting started on dosage calculation work - do what they say, but there is no further academic prep you need to do.
Relax, if you have a favorite pastime or activity or something(mine was reading, and I read 10 books the 2 months before school) I couldn't read for pleasure for another 2 years due to school, and I missed it! Enjoy the time, you'll kick yourself if you don't!
