What to expect my first semester of nursing school?
What college are you going to? The first semester of nursing school is usually devoted to medical-surgical nursing. My first semester I took a lot of nursing basic stuff that applies to all people. You’ll also take a health assessment where you will learn how to assess all of the body systems. You’ll have some labs where you learn simple stuff like blood pressure, pulse, wound care, sterile technique, catheterization, etc. Your clinical will be great. I loved clinicals. You’ll be at a hospital probably and you’ll work with a nurse and you will just do the things that you have learned in classes already, like when you learn to do vitals and medication administration, you can do these things, and then when you learn to do catheters, you can do that and vitals and meds. It’s kind of like just adding on every week. Study alot…Nursing is different than regular college because you have to learn to think in a different way. You’ll probably also take a pathophysiology class. Make study group
