I start as a pre-nursing student in the fall of 2011 at University of Missouri-Kansas City, and I'm so happy! I've been shadowing medical doctors, nurses and CNAs for the past five months through this program at my high school and I'm happy to finally be entering college. Just had a few questions for pre-nursing students, nursing students and current nurses..1. Did anyone attend UMKC or attending UMKC now? 2. Does anyone have any good recommendations for nursing school entrance test prep books? 3. What was your hardest nursing class? 4. Any other tips or advice that you may have for a pre-nursing/nursing student? I am going to try my ABSOLUTE hardest to achieve a high GPA my first year of college, since my school only admits 80 students a year. This post is basically seeking advice :) Thanks!
