Hello, I just started nursing school a month ago myself. Fortunately I have been attending college to complete some of my prerequesites so I'm "in the swing" of going to school. My biggest advice is: pace yourself. It is very common to see people overstudy; basically trying to stuff as much in to their brain as possible in a very short period of time. Memorize small amounts of information at a time and take breaks. Do not cram. I have also discovered the very positive power of exercise. Walk, jog, hike, ride a bike - whatever you like - and you will find that when your body feels healthy your mind works better. Enjoy meeting new friends and the whole experience of nursing school as much as possible. It is a very challenging program but well worth it. I wish you all the best. - We'll be nurses before you know it!
