If you are in a class, try getting a book specific to that class. I found it helpful to get a general "Nursing Care Plan" book. It covered most disease processes from assessments to care plans. It was very helpful but it cannot replace your ability to actually assess a patient but it can help you know what to look for and how to evaluate the care you are giving. Hope that helps you.

I don't know if this helps or not, but a lot of schools are overflowing in certain areas because there is a shortage in that area. I just graduated in May and I know that all nursing schools are at their highest admission rate of nursing students but what you need to find is a school in an area that there's not a nursing shortage, like the midwest. I know no one wants to move to small town america but hey, it's usually cheaper and there aren't as many people waiting to take your spot!After gracuating, you can get your license in whatever state you want! Hope this helps! :)
