Hello my fellow nursing students. I will be starting my nursing classes on July 6. That's only 12 days from now! I'm both excited and nervous. We had our first orientation yesterday, well it was more like a meet and greet. I have been on YouTube al...

For orientation I wore a pair of capris with a dressy blouse and a pair of flats. I knew we would be there three hours or more so I wanted to be comfortable. I don't remember anyone being overdressed. A few of the people in my cohort bought their wat...

Hello. I am 43 years old, married with five sons ages 28,27,24,17,and about to be 10. I am in week five of my first quarter of nursing school. I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one in my 40s just starting the journey to becoming a nurse. Best wi...

My youngest son is nine years old and loves to color and draw so I went to the Dollar Tree and bought him a bunch of coloring books, markers and construction paper. That keeps him busy. He also likes to read so I am constantly buying children's books...

Yep, all of the above!

I have the Classic II SE also, and I plan on using it until it falls apart! You can't go wrong with Littman!

Congratulations, you got this!! That light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter!!:)

That's too funny! I did the same thing last week while watching Hawthorn on Netflix!!

I would have to say anywhere from 20-75 pages per week.

Don't let that get to you, just take it one day at a time and remember we're all in this together!

Thank you!! And it really is doable, just keep your eyes on the prize! I have a countdown app on my phone and every time I get frustrated I look at it and remind myself that this too shall pass!!

Thank you!!

Very interesting. You get so much thrown at you at one time. Make sure you take notes and study them.

Thank God I passed all three! They weren't bad at all, I was just nervous about having three in one week. And my granddaughter was born last week so honestly I spent so much time at the hospital I didn't study like I should have. But I'm back on trac...

Enjoy your free time now! I'm going into my third week and I find myself having to study every free moment I have! We had three quizzes last week and two exams next week on top of having homework every day. I'm not complaining, I just want everyone t...

I've been promising the family a trip to Disney for a while now, so without telling them I've already made our reservations! It has been so hard keeping this to myself. I'm also looking forward to being able to stay up late and just enjoying life!

Congratulations and welcome to the group!!

Congratulations on passing the NCLEX!!

Well first off, congratulations on being accepted!! As far as advice, get yourself a planner and get organized. Enjoy spending time with family and friends, cause your free time will be very limited once you start.

This is my first week in nursing school and I would have to say get and stay organized! Get yourself a planner and use it faithfully. And also get as much rest as possible. I'm so excited to finally start that I haven't been sleeping much this week, ...

I would definitely check to see if your program allows the use of e books. One of my instructors informed us yesterday that our Pharmacology class has 7 books!! Lord Jesus!!!

I had to retake math and A&P because they were more than two years old! UGH! But thank God the program I'm in allows you to take those classes along with the core classes. Today was my second day of class and so far I'm loving it!

This was for lecture. There is actually 24 students in the cohort. The syllabus was 27 pages, but that doesn't worry me. Or should I be? LOL

No not intimidating at all.

I should add that this is only one class. The cohort itself has 24 students, for now at least.
