All I can say Kristi is read read read. And really pay attention in the first year. I am not sure how your program will compare to mine, but the more you review before the program starts and during the first year, the better you will do. My first year (which just ended 2 weeks ago) was almost entirely theories, family theories, chronic illness theories, ect. If you can get your hands on a few nursing books and get a handle on the theories, your first year will go a lot easier than mine did. Good luck and I hope all the best for you!
