Specializes in LTC.

I'd say enjoy the next 3 weeks before nursing school consumes your life and then some. Do something fun and relaxing before all the madness begins....

I won't lie...it will be an adjustment. There is a lot of reading to do and lots of exams. You will need to be very organized. It will be very frustrating at times. However, it won't last forever and eventually you will be done and will be a nurse.

Best wishes to you. I remember being very nervous too but I made it. I graduated last month.

I'm on week two of school and I'll say right now, get ready to be a little shocked. Girls are crying already in my class, like as of day 4. Prepare yourself mentally. Be prepared to make lots of sacrafices and serisouly dont let yourself forget why you're there. I have to remind myself a little bit but dont forget. Heres a quote one of my instructors shared with us:

"In order to succeed, your desire for successmust be greater than your fear of failure". GOOD LUCK!
