Most importantly...Take it one day at a time. But also, don't be afraid to ask questions or go to your instructors for help. Find a select few friends you can turn too for anything. Study, study, study. Read the textbook. Take time for yourself!!! Nursing school has been the best time of my life so enjoy it... it's also the most frustrating indescribable time (I developed an eye twitch my first semester....but it went away during winter break!) Enjoy and good luck!!
