WELCOME FIRST-YEARS
Nursing school is a difficult but rewarding journey... here are our tips for your first year!
Helpful Items We Recommend
Stay Organized
You are about to embark on a journey that will be filled with tons of assignments, late nights, and early mornings. Staying organized will help you tremendously from becoming overwhelmed. Get yourself an agenda, use your phone to set reminders, and make to-do lists to stay on top of your tasks.
Take Initiative
Take initiative during clinical! This is your learning experience and your time to practice skills and not be directly responsible. The program will fly by and you'll have less and less time to practice. Be prepared to ask your preceptors questions and answer their questions as well.
Self Care
You can't fill from an empty cup. Taking care of yourself is a big part of taking care of others. Prioritize your physical, mental, and emotional selfcare. Take that nap, go out for a night with friends/family, reach out to close ones when you're feeling overwhelmed.
