Hello,
So any books you can recommend for me to read before starting nursing school this Jan 2014?!
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated!
Thanks :)
The problem with pre-reading nursing books is that many of them are practical books that require doing something. For example, your fundamentals book and assessment book will require you to do head-to-toes, medication calculations, etc. I DO think that reading your pathophysiology book ahead of time will save a LOT of headaches. Also, maybe think about trying to memorize your drug book? I thought about doing it since it would come in handy.
Yes read patho if your program has a separate pathophysiology class/ book. Getting a leg up on patho helps because it comes up again in other classes and semesters and it's generally one of the toughest classes in the early semesters.[/quote']I have been reading a general patho for
Nursing care book and it actually is very interesting. All the chapters I've read I see how they'll show up again when I'm officially in nursing school.
I wonder if I should pre-read a bit if pharmacology. Just for the pleasure if reading also since I have time

I couldn't do that! I barely cracked my text books, took some notes I didn't read, and sometimes looked at the power points post beforehand. Weekends were all party time, literally hahaThen again it wasn't my second degree so I wasn't taking it as serious
No offense but I don't understand people like you. If/when I get into NS I'm going to take it very seriously. I don't understand the whole party mentality.

There is no "head start" for nursing school. Lol. Just kidding. Kind of.
I suggest "getting a head start" only if your instructor gives you a list of chapters to read before the first day of class. Otherwise, sit back and get plenty of rest.
