what to look forward to..... you will eat,sleep,breathe nursing the ist couple of semesters- if you get good grades the ist 2 semesters, the rest is not bad. try not to get behind. you can work, but if you dont have to or can work part time,do it. it is a lot of fun after the ist semester when things start to sink in. ask lots of questions and form a study group early on. it will all be worth it when you are done.good luck!
