text: any advice for a nursing student? i'm getting nervous about the nursing program i will be entering in. i know it's going to be a lot of work but is there any advice? i already have 2 ba degrees in psychology and communication, so i know how college is but it seems nursing is much more harder. i guess, i'm just trying to build up my self confidence in doing this. any suggestions? as long as you don´t forget you are dealing with humans you should be alright! you´ll need your psychology and communication skills since those are a very important part of nursing :-d you´ll have to do stuff that you might think are disgusting but just try to imagine how you would feel in the position of the patient you are helping and then try to be the person you´d want doing this to you/with you etc.  you´ll be responsible for other people´s health, life, well being - be aware of this, always live up to your own standards and don´t abuse the power you are given! all in all, if you try to be great, you will be and hopefully you´ll love your job and don´t let hard shifts get you down!
