Does anyone have any tips for nursing school? I’m scheduled to graduate in May of 2025 and I’m nervous. I’m currently in my pediatric rotation.

First of all, tell yourself that you can do it. Practice self efficacy.
Since you came this far, you "got this".
1. Create a schedule/calendar. There are so many activities including assignments and exams. Prioritize the activities.
2. If you can afford to stop working, do that. If you must work, you may consider weekends....
3.Accept help from loved ones. If you can borrow money to offset some bills to avoid excessive work, do that.
Focus, focus, focus.
4. Must collaborate with your peers. Sometimes regardless of how diligent you might miss information.
5. Take pictures at clinical sites, classroom.....to share during pinning/ recognition ceremony.
6. Book hair, make up appointments ahead for pinning and graduation ceremonies.
7. Rest in between.
8. Take and pass NCLEX the at the 1st attempt.
GOODLUCK!!!!
YOU GOT THIS!!!!!
