The Major Diseases Nursing Students/Nurses Should Know?
My school teaches by concepts (for example gas exchange, skin integrity, perfusion) not by diseases. What you should do is relax and enjoy this time before you start nursing school.

How does your program teach/evaluate injections?
My school has us practice on mannequins and then we do one sub-q shot on each other as long as we sign a form. Also my school no longer teaches the ventrogluteal IM site, they teach the Vastus lateralis site instead.

What is a typical nursing school schedule like?
Mon. 8:30-12:30 nursing fund. (16-week course)- 4 tests and one paper, and a final Tue-Thurs (for the first eight weeks) 8-2 Skills lab- 8 quiz Fri 9-12:45 Critical Thinking (8-week course)- 4 tests and a final After that first eight weeks, we had one sim. Lab and then 1 10-hour clinical a week for the last eight weeks This was the schedule for MY nursing program for the first semester, as studying depends on your study habits and what type of learner you are; if you don't know Google's learning style and there will be many tests to choose from. The first semester I did minimal studying (but I have an eidetic memory and don't take notes and made a 95 in the fund. and a 93 in CT). Many of my peers spent many hours studying. I hope this helps. Good luck!
