Those are perfect answers! I really appreciate that you took the time to answer so thoroughly. I felt completly in the dark but now have some idea on how everything might work. Thank you!!

Good luck when you apply. I wish I was applying on Monday as well. . I'm really anxious to get going....

Ok... so I'm not officially admitted to nursing school (have to take Micro before applying) but I'm looking into what school will entail. All the information I'm finding is that nursing school is horrible and it is freaking me out. I should say that I have a really strong desire to complete an ADN program. I want to eventually finish a BSN too. I do have two small kids and currently stay at home with them. I was never an A student but when I apply myself I do well in anything I try. I will be taking a CNA course this summer and although I realize that this course may not be anything like an RN program I hope that it will give me some idea on how theory and clinicals go in the ADN program?? My question (s): What happens in nursing school? What are things that you must concentrate on? Medication calculations? Anatomy? How do clinicals work? Are you assigned a patient to care for? Do you observe mostly? I'm sorry if my questions have obvious answers. I'm one of those people that likes to know exactly what is coming and being prepared for it! Thank you for any answers and advice!
