A Must Read Before Starting Nursing School June 19, 2008

I recently got accepted into nursing school and wanted some basic information on what to expect before, during, and after nursing school and this book has it all! It answered all of my questions and made me laugh during the process! It covers everything from how to choose the best school, to how to deal with the stresses of work, school, and your personal life, techniques on how to study and make the most of your valuable time, tips on test taking, how to get the most out of clinicals, NCLEX enrollment and preparation ... like I said it has it all. One of the best parts is that after each section the author gives a list of resources on what was covered! A must buy!! I definetely see myslef referring back to this book again and again, a truly great investment.
