Of course, that's what you meant My schedule is done in 28-day blocks, with my work days known until the middle of September . .

The first day of class is when I was able to find out who my clinical instructor would be. A few days before classes began is when I found out who my lecture professor would be . . .

For sure, that's how it worked for me as well. E-mail your CI prior to September to find out if he/she will have a problem with your choice of scrub top . . .

Thank you for your kind words. It is my goal to help yous succeed. Nursing school is, by far, one of the most difficult academic journeys one can undertake in their scholastic career. The more information and wisdom one is armed with, the less blinds...

Best advice I've "picked up" during ($#)$) semesters of nursing school: study in a library with no more than one person; not at home with a multitude of distractions, and not with a study group (increased risk of getting off topic).

Don't stress over what you "gotta study" before class begins, just make the most outta your free time prior to September. Make sure you let loose while enrolled in nursing classes, or you'll lose your mind. You're gonna have a blast.:cheers::beer::ba...
