Upper Division Nursing Student Seeking Advice

Hi everyone! I’m looking for some honest advice/experiences from people in the nursing program. I’m planning to start upper division this fall, but I’m a little nervous and wanted to hear what it’s really like.

I’m also taking Microbiology in Disease over the summer. How manageable/difficult is it during the summer term? Is the workload extremely heavy or doable if you stay organized? Any tips for succeeding in the class would really help.

For context, I already used my retake for A&P 2, so I’m feeling some pressure to do well moving forward.

How is the nursing program overall? I’d also appreciate any advice on the best ways to study and prepare before starting. Any honest feedback, encouragement, or helpful tips would mean a lot!
