I am starting my three year BSN program on sept 6. am almost done with my microbiology class- have two weeks to go. Then I have about one month till school starts again. I have had rough summer- retaking microbiology class and still sucking at it- almost makes me doubt myself. But heey its almost over and I'm sure I'll pass and thats all that matters. Okey back to the topic: here are the ways I'm planing to prepare myself for the comming semester: 1. Make sure I know what books I'll need. I found out that I can get them at the School library and the public library- wonder if I should buy them at all 2. Read the books or at least look at them and get an idea what to expect to read. 3. Try to figure out if there are any syllaby for the classes. that can give u alot of ideas on what to read 4. Since I'm taking physiology- I got the book from a friend- I'll review it. 5. Do all the cleaning, laundry I can do- I live wit my mom and unfortunately she does most house chores- I'll try to organize my room as much as possible 6. Read books on study habits, Nursing school, and time management 7. Do some shopping- never get time to do that during the semester 8. Exercise, sleep alot and spend some time wit my family cause I know as soon as the school starts I wont have time to do that. 9. Read the posts on this website---- love it 10. Take a deep breath and RELAX- cause I know no matter how much I try to prepare myself- I can never be prepared enough Besides I dont know what to expect and I'm very excited about- I almost have butterflies in my tomy. Good Luck -Sophia
