My name is Alexandra, AKA Andra, and I am an intensive care unit registered nurse. Working frequently with students and new nurses has shown me that there is a HUGE practical education gap for students as they become nursing students and new grad nurses. After seeing this need, I sought to write this handbook (...or rather, survival guide) to help pass on the information and lessons I've learned throughout school about topics not typically covered by nursing programs or the profession...topics most students have to learn the hard way like I did. The goal here is to prevent you from spending unnecessary time invested in activities that are not the best utilization of your time.No matter what point you're at in the nursing school process - pre-nursing, currently enrolled, about to graduate, etc. - this guide will have something to help make your life easier! You can expect this guide to talk about:? Planning and preparing for nursing school? The application and interview process? Preparing for success in lecture? How to handle nursing exams? Preparing for success in simulation lab? How to approach clinical placements? Maintaining school-life balance? Your final semester? What to expect after graduation
