D. Advice from NUR 450

- There is life outside of nursing school so allow free time for yourself

- Keep an open mind to new experiences.

- Take it one day at time.

- Start the capstone early

- Do leadership first if you can, it will make the end of the semester go by more smoothly.

- Get past NUR 320 and you will be fine.
