Hi Hannah,
Time management- Setting limits for study and personal time as so not to be overwhelmed. I worked 2 jobs while in nursing school. Making priorities and having a written/electronic calendar is your best friend!
Exams- Understand that many of the answers on your exams are similar or seem correct. You have to practice critical thinking so that you can know which is the "BEST" answer of them all.
Commitment- Not hard, but stay committed. Stay around people that want to thrive. Go to those de-stress workshops to receive advice from people who have been where you are.

The hardest part of nursing school is most definitely the time management. As a nursing student, things can get pretty hectic when balancing classes, clinicals, studying, work, personal time, and sleep. I was so forgetful my senior year; I was overwhelmed with classes, clinicals, work, a boyfriend, and buying our 1<sup>st</sup> house. Take great notes and write everything down. Set alarms to remind you of anything and everything you don’t want to forget. Do not procrastinate. At the end of each day of classes, organize your thoughts, notes and to-do list to make sure you don’t miss anything. Prioritize your homework and projects.
You can do it! Nursing students stick together.
