get a good recorder and make sure if you get a copy of the t-notes (you'll find out what they are) that they are current. Some are so old they are useless. Get the study tips book they reccommend. The questions in the book help you get a feel for the test questions. Remember most of the questions may have two right answers you have to pick the one that is "more right". Make sure to have a 3 inch 3 ring binder for the first day. They pass out the course guide which is about 300 pages and basically your bible for the semester. Since the Hurricane most of the elevators get stuck about three times a day. TAKE THE STAIRS!! I just finished Nac 1 in accelerated format. It was hard but I got a B. I am taking Peds/Mental Health over the Summer also accelerated. After all this Nac2 should be a breeze. Good Luck to everyone starting in the summer and fall.

The best thing to do is to take both before you get in if you have time. Nursing school is hard enough w/o adding prereqs to the mix

I had a different situation where the nurses at the clinical site were horrible. Our instructor helped us make the best of a bad time but it really makes you think about the kind of nurse you would want to be. For some instructors it is just a power trip and they really don't care if you learn or not. Hopefully your next instructor will be better. Good Luck!!
