Starting 1st year

I'm starting my first semester in my nursing program on the 20th. I am so excited to start nursing classes and clinicals, but I'm also really freaked out about how difficult it's going to be. I'm a 4.0 student right now, but I've heard that nursing classes are completely different from regular college classes. I feel as though I'm a freshman again and that I have no idea how to study for nursing classes. I was wondering if anyone had specific tips and advice for doing well in classes.

Thanks!

    Stay organized and manage your time wisely. Get connected with other students and study with them, make flashcards, or whatever really works for your learning style. Don't freak out if you can't maintain a 4.0, many many nursing students end up with a lower GPA than they started with.

    This is so true!...The first time I ever failed a test was in nursing school. It took me a very very long time to digest that...But the beauty of nursing school is that you come out of it humbled!

    True. I was also a 4.0 student and about to complete my first semester in nursing. I am currently at an A- in all my classes this semester and I am praying to maintain it since I have only finals left. My advice to you is to take all quizzes and test and anything that carries point seriously because they will add up and make or break you. Also main your style of study and evaluate yourself after the first text exam. It might still be useful or beneficial in nursing. All I will ask you to do is group discussion. Find course mates who are as driven as you are and discuss and practice together. Very helpful in the clinical setting. Wish you the best of luck.
