Starting my BSN Nursing program Fall 2012, in the meantime...

I'd like to be as prepared as I possibly can for nursing school! My clinicals dont start at USF (Univeristy of San Francisco) until Spring 2013. I wanted to know if anyone who is a nursing student or former nursing student has any advice on good books to read or to get started on nursing school? I know there's only so much I can do, but I have now til August for school ( I'm off this year since I reapplied for nursing school). Any good books I should read that won't confuse me too much? Haha thanks! Appreciate it.

if you are near the school, go to their library and check out (or read) texts that the nursing school uses. Or go to the public library and look for nursing books, especially pathology and physiology. Bookstores carry Grey's Anatomy coloring books which are helpful. They also have review books for NCLEX-RN, the test you take to get your license. You can spend this time getting your life in order and making sure family & friends know that your social life will be greatly affected once school starts. Good luck!
