What's the first semester of nursing school like?

It is intense but is also only the first layer of fundamentals but also one of the most important. All through school you will be building on to what you learned but it will eventually come back to the fundamentals. Sometimes this semester seems easy to students but it will only get harder. Give yourself plenty of time to study.

It is intense. You will receive a lot of information quickly. My advice is to stay current on a daily basis so you don't fall behind.
