Next Semester Preparation!

As this semester comes to a close and you prepare for winter break, here are some things to consider for next semester.


  1. Don't stop studying. This is something I wish I did. Material from first semester will follow you throughout the program. You will always need to know how to prepare a shot - what needle to pick, what syringe and what site. That will never leave you so the more you review the material the better next semester will go.
  2. Try to shadow. Also something I wish I did. Even now I wish I had to talked to someone in the area I want to go into. I wish I had someone to talk to and use as a reference for the area I want to go into.
  3. Work on dosage calculation. This will be one every test from here until forever. The dosage calculation does not get easier and knowing conversions is always helpful. There was things I had to reteach myself which is not fun.
  4. Have a relaxing break. You can only handle so much stress. Next semester and this semester both have stress. A break from that will benefit both you mind and body.
  5. Take the time for family and friends. During the semester it is all about school. Now you have the time to hang out and catch up with family.

  1. Great advice for nursing students. And a lot of it is good advice for everyone! Personally I'm really hoping for #4 &5 this winter since I had too much to do to relax over Thanksgiving.
