I'm in my first Year of BSN...I find it the most challenging thing I've ever done. There is alot of reading, I have learned so far from advice and experience. -Find a group of people you can rely on and split the readings as well as photocopy notes you make for the readinds and hand them out to each other. -Find a 3rd or 4th year student to exchange e-mails with for advice and an uplifter for when you feel like giving up. -Take care of yourself first, or you can not be successful It's all been helping me, so I thought I'd pass it on. Good Luck to all my fellow first years
