What other questions do you have before you start school? What can we help you with?? 👇

[@kymberlyntrent8624]

Any advise specific to doing an ABSN program? 16 months start to finish. My Fundamentals and Med/Surg classes are only 7 weeks

[@alexisperez6333]

Fantastic video! Since I’m not currently an nursingSOS member, any tips for studying for maternity and NCLEX? Thanks. I’m really glad I found you. ♥️

[@NursingSOS]

So glad this video helped you, Alexis Perez! This book is GREAT for NCLEX practice questions: www.amazon.com/Saunders-Comprehensive-Review-NCLEX-RN-Examination/dp/0323358411/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=saunders&qid=1587574113&sr=8-2 The NCLEX Mastery App is awesome too: nclexmastery.com/ They have tons of options to filter through questions (fundamentals, pharmacology, med-surg, etc.), and they are very similar to the questions you'll see on the NCLEX®.

Time Management is going to be your best friend, Kymberly Trent! You CAN do this! This video will be a big help to get you started: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnnIfmBmea6sh7M You CAN do this, Kymberlyn!!

[@nicolelam3223]

Honestly...just relax before school starts. I don't really think you have to study before school starts. I finished my program in 11 mos, did fine and graduated with a high GPA without any studying prior to the program. The best advice before school is to have FUN and RELAX... You can't really prepare for nursing school. It's hard to explain but honestly, just have fun before schools starts. During school, make sure you rest, exercise, sleep and you'll do fine! Also, take care of your mental health! Everyone will do great :)

[@NursingSOS]

Great advice, thanks for being here, Nicole Lam!

[@serenityreid2686]

What rn program did you finish in 11months I live in Cali

[@nicolelam3223]

@@serenityreid2686 Regis University in Denver. You need a BSN though to do the accelerated program. It’s super fast but I just made sure to sleep, eat and exercise when I can. Take care of yourself and it’ll be fine. Study their slides, find a good study person, one person is enough, don’t study when you’re tired lol Do test banks and you’ll do great!

[@strides1000]

I say review some AP if anything. I actually read the entire reading assignment every week but when I go back to review, I just study what’s on the syllabus. Which makes everything so much easier to find and comprehend so you don’t feel like you’re just jumping around randomly getting distracted if you have problems focusing and paying attention like me. Lol

[@NursingSOS]

tony, thanks for pitching in with what worked for you!

[@danatreisch1542]

Hi! So it’s going to get deep here for a second but it’s necessary for my question. Thank you for all your resources btw! I’m enjoying and learning so much already! I’ve done six months as an aide in a memory care building at the local senior living facility. I took a break from ministry (I got my bachelors in family ministry) and the experience as an aide has me completely rethinking my career. I’m considering and praying about attending the LPN program nearby in the 2022-2023 school year. Unfortunately, I had to leave my position as an aide (😢) and currently working part time in the family business. I say all that to say- should I look for another job in the healthcare field while waiting to attend nursing school? I loved my job as an aide, it was different than ministry but still there was opportunity to share Christ’s love while on the floor. I loved that I got to care physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually for my residents. They’re “one of the least of these”. I’m seriously considering going into gerontology. However, I don’t need to work full time since my husband does, and this might be a nice break before starting school? It also allows me time to watch videos and review important topics before school? Thoughts?

[@NursingSOS]

Dana Treisch, whatever path you decide to take, you will do AMAZING things! Take some time to reflect on your current priorities and where you feel drawn. God has a plan for you, keep the faith! ❤️ You've got this, friend! 😊

[@amandagarza3607]

Do you recommend reviewing the systems and brushing up on A&P too before nursing school starts?

[@NursingSOS]

If you've gotten through dose calc and have a plan in place to organize your studying, time and study habits then yes that would be helpful to review too, Amanda Garza! You will do awesome! Thank you for being here. Have a fantastic day 😊

Hello, I am from Canada, do you know if this test is administered here?

[@NursingSOS]

Great question, Selena Dipaolo! We aren't familiar with nursing programs outside of the United States, but if you have the opportunity it would be helpful to talk with a nursing student from your program who may be able to answer this better! I hope you have a fantastic day! 😊

[@elliee2392]

Should you study fluid and electrolytes ?

[@NursingSOS]

elliee2, great question! If you have time to study fluids and electrolytes you could, but dose calc is something you will be expected to know pretty quickly once you start your courses, so focus on making sure you are super comfortable with all different types of medication math. You are going to do GREAT, friend! :)

[@jashanhanda9619]

Hi I wanted to study nursing probably next year but I don't have any nursing background and moreover I don't know where should I start and I have a year of free time before I could start the school, I really need help in knowing what should I learn or someone could tell me how to begin so that I don't struggle in school. any help will be appreciated .

[@NursingSOS]

jashan handa, that is awesome that you are going to start next year. You will do great! Focus on time managemetn and as it gets closer to your courses starting you can learn dosage calculations since you will need to know that early on. Take time and figure out which program will best fit your current needs and remember God has a plan for you!!

That is exciting, Chandra Forrest! If your program has dosage calculation exams, then yes!

You've got this, friend, you are going to do great!

[@laurenhills239]

I think it’s for RN. Yes LPN has dosage calc problems but not as in depth and rigorous as RN curriculum. I know this because I’ve done both. Finished my LPN in 2015 but didn’t bridge, instead I am now in my ADN program.
