I think I would do camp nursing just for my boys to enjoy a good camp while I actually earn a paycheck.I am a recent grad and need to get my feet wet. I want to try school nursing along with camp nursing. I know th money will really stink but the experience might be worth it. Did you actually get time off or was all your time consumed withthe campers?

I just recently graduated. The best advice someone gave me and I would love to pass on is to consider school a 9-5 job mon-fri and spend the rest of the time with family and for yourself. I did great in nursing school and stood by this rule. If i got out of clinical early or had no class I would spend that time studying in the library. I always went to the library because it was easier not to be distracted from kids and husband. Best wishes let me know if you need any help.

I did not get to choose my classes either. I went to an ADN school which I believe has more clinical experience. My first class was Fundamental nursing which introduced the nursing process, assessment, and some disease processes. The worst part of the class was Fluid and electrolytes. If you have any spare time start studying that topic. I had clinicals with every class. 2 classes a semester. They only class with no clinicals was pharm. Good luck. I suggest you join your local chapter of NSNA(nations student nurse association) THey accept pre nursing students and you will be able to mentor with current nursing students. Look the association up at the nursing school you plan to attend. I know we loved getting pre nursing students.
