For those that are in a regular nursing program where you have winter break and summer off (as the longest breaks) do your schools usually require anything during that time to keep things fresh in your head? I start nursing school in August and I was just curious if I should plan on having summers off (obviously I will find out for sure soon enough from my specific school) can I expect that to be my time and family time, or do schools usually require stuff during that time.
Being the type of person I am I would prep for the Fall classes I would be taking, I will be doing that this summer since I have a lot of travel planned which will consist of me riding in the passenger seat on cross country car rides, but just curious what the norm is.
Thanks!

We are given summer reading assignments. I am going to study some during my summer but I am going to relax a little. I work 40 hours a week while in nursing school but when I am out I work 60 hours a week (one full time and one part time job) but that will feel like relaxing because when I come home I do not have to worry about anything.
