Well the first day of our Accelerated BSN program was a bit overwhelming. A lot of information is thrown at you and it is hard to determine how to organize it all. I called my friend who is about to graduate medical school and another who just finished a BSN program to get some advice on how to organize myself and my courses.
I have been told to focus on the important classes and not get caught up with others that might not matter as much. This semester that means that I should focus on my Dimensions of Holistic Nursing course and my Health Assesment class.
So far I am impressed with both my professors and my classmates. Since this is a Second Degree BSN program everyone already has a degree in another field other than nursing. We have like six guys in our cohort out of 20 total students.
I have decided to use a folder system to keep myself organized. I purchased a folder for each course where I will keep the syllabus and any handouts given. I also purchased a planner that has an entire month overview and a weekly view where I can plan out my assignments and tests. . . . Hope it works!
