Specializes in Critical Care, Education.

One of the most widely reported challenges for prospective nursing students is "Critical Thinking" - which is a critical skill for nurses. It is a complete switch from the "normal" educational process in the US, which is usually just memorization and recall. Many "high GPA" students are completely flummoxed when they encounter tests constructed entirely of critical thinking items --- grades plummet, anxiety and stress build, nervous breakdowns ensue.... you get the picture.

IMO, it would be very wise to get a handle on this prior to starting your nursing program.
