I go to orientation in two weeks and my manager told me to be in scrubs!

SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT NURSING SCHOOL FROM SOMEONE WHO JUST GRADUATED..........don't dread nursing school as it is part of being a nurse - you have real patients and real responsibilities - as a student nurse you are able to perform all the duties of an RN as long as you are under the supervision of one. My nursing school experience has been wonderful - i have come so far and learned more than i ever hoped to. I have taken care of hundreds of patients and each one has taught me somthing new and different. I have worked with numerous RN's at multiple hospitals and 99% of them were happy to have me there and generally concerned about my success. My instructors have been patient and more than willing to share all of their past experiences both good and bad. Nursing school has been a big part of my life for the past two years and has played an important part in where i am now. I have no doubt that nursing school prepares you for the real thing and I cant imagine skipping that part of my career. Enter nursing school knowing that this is what you want to do and you can do it. At the end of nursing school, the possibilites are endless. :)

I just graduated from nursing school this month - my boys are now 14 and 16 and my husband works in law enforcement - somehow I made it and im sure glad i did because i absolutely love nursing - i always tell people - if you can make it thru the pre reqs - you can make it thru nursing school - it really isnt that much harder at all - not to mention it is a whole heck of a lot funner!! - hang in there - you can do it!
