📚🩺 FIRST TERM OF NURSING SCHOOL: COMPLETE! 🌞💉
Spring Term II 2025 — you tested me 🤹🏾♀️🫀, stretched me 👀🪤, and grew me🤓☕️
Here’s the real tea 🫖 for anyone stepping into nursing school without a healthcare background:
🩻 NURS 100 - Fundamentals of Nursing
10/10 — Not hard, just UNFAMILIAR. If you’ve never worked in healthcare, it’s a learning curve. This course showed me the circle of life in a new way — from gas exchange to intake/output. Grateful for a professor who made it make sense.
📘 NURS 110 - Intro to Professional Nursing
6.5/10 — Whew. This class teaches you how to think, act, and speak like a nurse. Scope of practice, The Joint Commission, Maslow’s, legal + ethical responsibilities. Verbal + nonverbal communication matter. Be graceful with yourself here.
🧪 NURS 101L - Skills Lab (PASS OR FAIL)
7.8/10 — Skills? Constant learning. Clinicals? Eye-opening. Less hands-on practice time than I hoped, but real experience taught me what TO do and what NOT to do. Always remember your WHY.
✨ I didn’t study but had I did I’d be an A and B student. I’m still adapting, and I say this with full honesty. But grace carried me, and God stayed faithful. 🙏🏾
🎯 Study now. Use your resources. Review A&P + Patho. Practice med math. You can thrive — even when it feels unfamiliar.
📅 On to the next! Summer 2025 I’ll see you NEXT WEEK✍🏾

Starting nursing school can feel overwhelming, especially for those without a healthcare background. The courses like NURS 100 and NURS 110 are crucial in shaping future nurses. In NURS 100, students learn about fundamental concepts that are essential for patient care, while NURS 110 focuses on professionalism and the intricacies of nursing practice, including legal and ethical responsibilities. Clinical experiences in NURS 101L offer hands-on learning, reinforcing theoretical knowledge with practical skills. Engaging with peers and utilizing available resources such as study groups and mentoring can significantly enhance understanding and performance. Most importantly, a balance of technical skills along with compassion is emphasized. As students navigate through the uncertainties and challenges, self-care and resilience remain key in fostering success in this demanding yet rewarding profession.
