i have 12 days till my first core class... I am prepping crockpot meals to freeze, spending our last weekend with my kids and planning out my other duties so that all I have to do at home is go into auto pilot! Good Luck!

yeah! I have my pinning ceremony in one week! classes start 5 days later! we were not told to wear white... I guess I have to go looking for a dress...

I am blessed with the ability to take power naps, and I am used to being awake all night. Coffee will be your best friend ans yes weight gain will be a problem. I DO think it is a worry b/c even gaining 10 pounds can make you more tired. I would make time for power walks if nothing else, grab a classmate and quiz each other. Snacking is a BIG problem with "trying to stay awake" for the newbies at our job... I cash in all my IOUs for dinners, i freeze crock pot meals, and schedule time for A) me, B) my kids and SLEEP. it may only be an hour, but its necessary.

I have the galaxy 10 note. I LOVE they fact that I have split screen, I can have the note portion up, and the power points that the teacher posted. I have ebooks and am looking for a text to talk reader to read my books to me on my hour ride to class or hour rides to work.

ME ME ME, ok so Im not the wife part. I am a single mom, 2 kids, full time night baker and about to start BSN program. TIME management is a must! saying NO is another. As far as studying, I would record my lectures to listen to at work, take home work with me, flash cards ect. budget time for the hubby but explain that you need this next (2-3 years) a few months at a time to study. dont flake on the breaks, fall spring and summer breaks are all about family, take a day to yourself then go back to school rested. the saying no part. If your anything like me, a friend asks you out for coffee, to help move or hubby needs a night off... you think, yeah why not... then you realize you missed a day of study time! AAAH and you start to resent them a little too.... say No, Im sorry I need to study. is you budget your time, you may still get to have the coffee, ask them to quiz you a little then you can enjoy their company after... hope that helps!

My acceptance walk is Aug 14th. Classes start Aug 19th. good luck ladies and gents...
