One more semester to go!

Just took my last exam today. So ready for a break, but in a weird way wouldn't mind just starting up again right away to get the next (my last [emoji2]) over with. Can't quit looking at different job boards and wanting to start applying although I know it's way too early. I am sure it's been discussed before, but when is a reasonable timeframe to start submitting applications and resumes?

I would wait until a couple of months before graduation. You can check out new grad programs a few months before and keep an eye out on their app periods so you can plan ahead. If you haven't already, start polishing up your resume. A good nursing program will have you working on that in class, but if not, you might talk to an instructor you respect and ask for some guidance.

Thanks RunBabyRun. Thats kinda what I figured, just wishful thinking that I could get started sooner.

Awesome advice! I did everything the RunBaby mentioned and I landed a position in my dream specialty 3 months before graduation.
