A Day in the Life of a Nursing Student

I can’t believe it is nearly time to begin summer classes! I have been going nonstop since classes got out. Spring cleaning came a little later due to nursing school. I’ve been playing catch-up between that and all the other stuff we just don’t get to during the semester. Not to mention yard work that needs to be done this time of year.

I’m sure many of you have been doing the same! It is amazing just how much we simply cannot get to during school. Then when summer comes and we have a moment to breath, we look up and see all the things we have yet to do before we can truly relax!

I hope your day is productive and you can cross off some things on your To-Do List!

The papers and tests are over and summer is finally here! What a year! I can hardly believe I will be graduating in a few short months. It was really neat to watch the pinning ceremony this past week. It was refreshing to hear all the nice things the students said about their family and friends that have helped them along their journey to becoming nurses. God knows our family and friends deserve a big public thank you for all they do for us. It was definitely an inspiring night, and I can’t wait to get there myself. I am happy for all of you graduates and wish you luck on your NCLEX tests!

Finals are always stressful. So much to review, and never enough time to do it. So here is what I do…

First I study any units that I haven’t been tested on. Then I study the units I did the worst on. After that I review medications and labs from the units. With whatever time I have after that I study information from the rest of the units. Simple, but it works for me!
