How To Prepare For Nursing School?

I'm going to be starting nursing school in May. I have a semester off and am only going to be working. Might as well get a jump on nursing school. What can I do now before I get in the program to prepare?

    Visit a hospital and talk to some nurses.
    Maybe visit a nursing home…..
    Do lots of reading….

    I’m about to enter pharmacy school and what I have been doing is just working in the field… having that hands on experience is priceless and I already know what will be required out of me.
    Just take it easy and be ready to go in full force and do well! All your previous things (pre-reqs) mean nothing but a building block of success to how you will do in nursing school.

    Learn your medical terminology that helps. Other than that start your memorizing of the bones and muscles (you have to know all of them). Good luck!! It’s tough!

    Ask for a recommended reading list from you’re university, which is always a good start, regardless of the subject.
    A basic understanding of patient baseline observations, drug calculations/administration, moving and handling and local/national policies related to nursing are extremely helpful.
    Edit – It probably would have been helpful if you would have mentioned that before…

    Maybe try working as a Nurses aide in a hospital or Nursing home that’s what I did , I also read medical and nursing books at the library even bought a few. books reading everything I could get my hands on. But working hands on with the sick and elderly really helped the most. Good Luck!

    I work in healthcare and I would say the best thing to do is to take Anatomy and Physiology or a course in Biology. Or you could check out the nursing school or college that you are going to be attending and ask them.
    Good luck!

    hey buy an a&p review book, bio review book and buy a fundamentals of nursing book, start reading now that way you will be ahead when you start. this is coming from a paramedic who basically went through similar training and dated nurses and has a few roomates that are rns. also i have apunch of ppt slides still that could help.

    an easy way to get a jump is to to work at a hospital and be a sponge- soak up as much information as you can… ask nurses to show you things!! most nurses are very nice and willing to show you as much as you are wiling to learn. check to see what your hospital requires as far as license to work there. some hospitals have a nurse technician program that is made for nursing students.
    another thing, it helped me to take a medical terminology class… if you could find one that fit into your schedule.
    GOOD LUCK and study hard!!!
