7. How did you prepare for the start of nursing school?

   brookeycookie replied to Brian's topic in General Students

   I did all my lounging and relaxing, and Ellen watching before nursing school started... because once it did... my life was never the same. Take some time for yourself, because after you are a RN, your life is about others... not you!
