Hello everyone:typing! I am a newbie to this forum and a new nursing student. I worked as a police officer for 15yrs retiring 02/07. I begin my studies in May. I have always wanted to be a nurse and can remember transporting prisoners to local hospitals for aid and noticing the nurses and their work ethic. I knew i was on the wrong side of the fence and needed a change. Now I'm here, I took a Disability Retirement and studied my butt off for the NET exam. I scored very high (Considering I have'nt been in school since 1990. I am proud of my efforts). The reason I am reaching out for wisdom from the membership is because I am afraid of failing and I could benefit from any advice given. I also want to be an Advance Practicing Nurse possibly a NP or CRNA. Is it too early to investigate those areas? Some of my family members believe I'm getting ahead of my self but I think they're jealous.

Ok this may sound stupid but I am also a new student and want to do well. Where do you get get the 100 weekly questions from? Do I study the NCLEX book from the onset of school?
