Congratulations to your acceptance into the College of Nursing and for getting this far! This
is a huge accomplishment and I hope you take a moment time to congratulate yourself and give
yourself a pat on the back. Remember this moment and let it carry you through the challenges you
face next.
Over the course of the next four semesters, you will learn, grow, and change beyond what
you thought you could do. While it may be uncomfortable at times to step out of your comfort zone,
you are in good hands and have lots of amazing instructors to help support you. The nursing faculty
are true leaders and experts in their field and will be there to answer your questions about
guidelines, practice, clinical knowledge and skills, and assignments. So you aren’t doing this alone!
Throughout your time in nursing school, try to find a balance that works for you regarding
school, life, and work. It can be very challenging, but a word of advice is to give yourself time to
sleep and recharge. The basic building blocks of eating, sleeping, and breathing are important no
matter where you go, and the best place to start practicing that is now.
The next four semesters will be some of the most challenging semesters of your life, but
also the most rewarding. The friendships you make in nursing school will be strengthened by some
of the strongest bonds of shared struggles and growth. You can do this! Make the most out of each
day and don’t let failure discourage you from trying again. I hope you have a great experience and at
the end of this, you can tell yourself that you did it!
Good luck!
