Starting nursing school soon? Scared out of your mind? Don't worry, so is everyone else in your class. One of the most popular searches that leads to my blog this time of year is: "scared to start nursing school." So you are definitely not alone! My advice for soon-to-be nursing students: 1. Never forget that every other person in that classroom is just as scared as you are. If they always look confident, it is just an act. So don't let them stress you out. 2. Be prepared to work hard.

I should have braced myself for something awful the second Mike said the words, "You are not going to believe what I got for FREE at a garage sale down the street!" I knew the excitement was probably over some random piece of junk, but wasn't prepared for what Mike had sitting in our living room: "We got a free step-stool!" he said, sitting down on his amazing find. I would have immediately informed him that an elderly person was probably recently sitting on his "step-stool" completely naked and possibly even going to the bathroom, but I was laughing so hard that all I could say was, "Great!" Husbands. Gotta love them, right?505 days ago
