Tips on surviving nursing school... help!

[AggieQT]

Hello everyone!

I need your help! I am compiling a list of advice for incoming students to my nursing program and I wanted some input from this board. If you have to give one piece of advice on how to survive nursing school what would it be?

Thanks and I really appreciate your help!

Study your material, then test yourself.

Do you know the S&S, the side effects of meds, what would be your top priorities, what would be the 1st thing you would do if your patient....

Know nursing dx. that go along with your diesease process.

Go farther than your text, sometimes Professors pop questions on the test that challenge your critical thinking!
