I'm sure you'll do fine. I am in my third 'semester' (beginning of 4th month) of a 12-mo. A-BSN program. It is hell. On Earth. Prepare yourself. (I think it's worth it, though; ask me next September.) I was more of an 'A' student. Prior to last semester, my last 65 hours' GPA was a 4.0. Not anymore. You'll learn to get over it. (And the good news is, if you're already a B student, it won't take you as much time or heartache to get over it.) I echo what a few others have said, in that in nursing school, studying 12 hours vs. 4 hours for a test does not always guarantee a better outcome. YMMV, and it depends on the class and the professor. I agree that nursing school tests are crappy, crappy, crappy. The whole "item analysis" bit is a gag that nsg professors use so they don't have to admit up front that they wrote a really pathetic test. Sorry. My rant's over now. Long story short, you'll do fine. Just study a lot--but not too much. The most important thing is to study/do assignments EVERY DAY. Procrastination is your enemy in an accelerated program. (I am still working on this as a lifelong, professional procrastinator.) I hope you get in a great program and love it! Don't stress. There will be plenty to stress about once you're actually in.
