A piece of advice to students pursuing education in your department

Inform yourself of the many different paths in nursing education. Take responsibility for the path that you select and be organized and regimented throughout your schooling to stay on your selected track. However, make sure you do not overload yourself. Schedule your classes so that you have time to breathe and enjoy life. Nursing school will change you, so make sure you are enjoying the ride.
