Stay focused, just becuase you dont finish your degree in the plan timed dosent mean you cant go back and finish it. It took me almost 6 years to get me first degree, thats becuase ive made some mistakes and stoped going to school for two years. But in the end its all worth it.

Be prepared to study 2 to 3 hours a day. Use every tool the instructors give you to study. Be early to class and stay late to ask questions. Communicate with other classmates. Nursing students are rarely successful on their own.

Talk with the teachers! They are not there to fail you, if you have a question, concern,or are just freaked out that you might fail, they will help you.

Don't be afraid to get to know people! This is where the networking begins.

If planning to transfer, make sure the courses you take are accepted to the school you plan on transferring to.
