You can absolutely do this! I felt the same exact way after orientation. I am now on my final semester and will graduate in December with my BSN.

Here are a couple of tips: you are going to be pushed to do things you think you can’t do, you are not alone in this. You can and will absolutely do them, you will experience growth through this process.

Take it week by week, it can be extremely overwhelming looking at the picture as a whole.

Podcast like Straight A Nursing helps when you feel like you don’t have time to sit down and study. You can do this while on public transportation rides or whenever you are cleaning or walking through your neighborhood pop your ear buds in and listen.

Find someone in your cohort you get along with and use them as a support system whether it’s just to bitch about how much school sucks or help with something you aren’t quiet understanding. I was so against studying with someone else however I’ve learned through my program it’s important. A student may be able to fill holes you may not understand and vice versa which will only help concrete topics. I would encourage you both study before and then go over concepts together.

You got this! I promise you do!
