Hi Everyone! I'm so glad I found this post..you are all so positive. I am also starting nursing school this Jan. I'm also very nervous because I am quiting a job and basically drastically changing my life to do this. I have a BS and MS already, but really always wanted to be a nurse. I guess I am most nervous about the unknown, since I haven't started yet I have no idea what NS is like. I have talked to several people and some are positive and other very negative. I guess I need to just relax and dive in! I just got the "Tess Success" book and can't wait to look at it now. So it seems like you would all agree that NS is very doable..just time consuming?
