? for nursing students

[ibmaryann]

I will be starting nursing this fall. I would appreciate it if someone could write down some things that they wish they would had learned before they started. Like lab values or pharmacology formulas while they had more free time. I know there are going to be things you just have to memorize and it take up alot of your time. If I knew them now I could go ahead and get a head start.

Thanks in advance for your time.

All of the previous posts plus I wish I had known about the Saunders NCLEX book before I hit Med/Surg...would have been very helpful in studying for exams. Books-A-Million on-line has a more than what's in the store, alot of these books can also be found on Amazon.

Good luck to you! :)
