What did you do before starting Nursing School?

Published

Hello all!

I am starting nursing school in January as im sure many more of you are and I was just wondering what it was that everyone did before they started nursing school. Im thinking about quitting my job at the beginning og December so I could relax a bit and enjoy my "last" month. I was also thinking about taking some of that time to review some anatomy and read a book that I bought called studying tips for beginning nursing students....i think thats what it called. So anyways what did you all do?

Drove a Taxi, worked in bars, waitressed and bridge construction.

Specializes in Telemetry/Med Surg.

secretary/administrative assistant for a long, long time.

I did social work with abused women.

I worked in Hydraulics for a few years, and before that I was a warehouse manager. Not very exiting but a change nonetheless.

Did anyone take some time off before starting to relax or am I the only lazy one?

I'll be quitting my job with 3 days left before nursing school. I don't want to slow down at all or else I'd get lazy.

No, I plan on doing the same thing.

If I could afford to I would.
