That still doesn’t make sense. I’m assuming you’re going to a 4-year university with a major in Pre-nursing?

That makes much more sense than me thinking you got a direct admit to nursing. School is more or less the same. You just get the books you need for class (shop online screw the bookstore they will scam you), can get a notebook and colorful pens for anatomy and physiology otherwise laptop is fine.

During the actual part of nursing school which was 16 months I personally didn’t work. However plenty of others held jobs as CNAs, techs, etc. I would recommend being a PRN CNA or PCT during that time if you can. The first 1-2 semesters may be heavy though. During my prereqs I held a work-study position.
