If your professors have provided you with a syllabus ahead of time, try to mark where the readings are for each week. The program requires a TON of reading, and once you start classes you will learn how to prioritize which class is more important than another one. I would take the week before school to relax--school is intense, but totally worth it. Best advice would be to stay organized! Write down due dates of assignments, evaluations, and everything for the semester as soon as you know. Stay on top of it. :)

Just an aside from what everyone else has already said, school comes before working and your social life. I was/am a student who works during school, and it is so much additional stress. Work when you have to, and make sure you reserve time for yourself! And the people in your life who support you and understand how busy you are, are the ones worth keeping around. Nursing school is a whole different lifestyle! Good luck, you'll do great.
