Nursing School Thrive Guide

This book is absolutely amazing. I’m 29 years old and after 10 years am finally heading back to school for nursing, and if I said I wasn’t terrified I’d be lying. But Nurse Mo’s book gives such a great picture of not only what to expect in school and clinicals, but gives you the absolute best tools to manage your time successfully and study conceptually rather than rote memorization. It’s written so conversationally, its almost as if she’s actually there just talking to you. My anxiety regarding school was significantly reduced and replaced by excitement and I head into my program with confidence. You can tell that this book was truly a labor of love, as is everything Nurse Mo does. Her website is an incredible resource for any nursing student (or even practicing nurses for that matter), as is her podcast “Straight A Nursing”. Thank you so much for being sharing what you’ve learned to ensure the future of nursing is bright.

I would recommend this book to anyone in pre-nursing or nursing school! I loved that it was a quick, easy read and it really took away all the secretiveness of how things work in nursing school (like: how are clinicals organized? My school didn’t tell me beforehand, but this book did!)

So I have been listening to the Straight A Nursing podcast and I have loved it. So I decided to buy her book. I am pre nursing school and the one thing that was holding me back was my anxiety about the unknown of nursing school and what it is like to actually have a nursing job. I have to say, after reading this book, I am much more confident and reassured. It gave me an idea of how to succeed in nursing school and what it is like when you're actually in the hospital setting. It took about an hour to read. Which leads me to my only complaint... I wish it was longer because I absolutely loved reading it!

Re purchased for my niece, this book saved my life in nursing school. Give yourself enough time to read it before the programStarts.

Basic but good. If you’re more experienced in “college life” or have some experience working in healthcare before reading this it will seem very basic as a lot of the book covers learning styles and how to be organized. The later half of the book however does provide some helpful tips specific to nursing school. I find her podcast/website to be much more beneficial than this book.

I've been in nursing school for 2 semesters, and all I can say is I WISH I had this when I started. Maureen covers literally everything you need to know and narrates with a reassuring, "you can do this" tone. The information I've read in this book is unlike anything I've found online. She is very detailed, and offers refreshingly new advice on how to succeed as a student nurse. If you're starting nursing school with no clue what to expect, buy this. Tell your classmates to buy it. Tell your professors to tell future students to buy it. It's worth every penny. I've been referencing back regularly.

I have looked into a number of books that I could read that would help ease my anxiety and prepare me before class started. I'm so glad I heard about Maureen's E-Book. It is a well written, information packed page turner. It has great personal advise and step by step guided schedules. Maureen addresses the different styles of learning and how to incorporate each one into studying. She also provides great resources to help. After reading her book I can't wait to start classes. I know I have a good foundation of what to expect and how to start my studies. Over all an easy read that is very helpful. She also has a blog and Facebook page(Straight A Nursing Student). I will be recommending this E-Book and Maureen's blog to classmate this year. :)

LOVED this book. Following all the steps. Some are overkill, but I took A LOT from this book and i've never felt more prepared for nursing school in my life. **THIS BOOK IS FOR ANYONE JUST STARTING OR NEW** It goes over the types of classes you're going to be taking, what ways of studying you can practice, what books she still uses today, what supplies to get prepared for before school starts, reminding you to clean and meal prep before school because you'll have little time... etc. its a great book. Giving to a friend.

This book is amazing! It gives so many amazing pointers for before, during and after nursing school. I love how there are many different small sections, but the amount of information is incredible for such a small book! I will be starting nursing school in a few months and I don’t think I would have felt as prepared as I am after reading this book. I have all of my stuff organized to a tee because of this book!

very nice book and fast delivery ,ill buy again thank you

I found about about this wonderful author thru her absolutely great blog. I purchased this book to give me encouragement while completing pre health courses. Now that I am finished, I sat down and really absorbed the information in this book. It is truly great. Excellent writing and content. Nurse Mo is spectacular. This book (along with her blog) is jammed with useful info for nursing students and really any student who strives for excellence. So good. Thanks nurse Mo

I loved the book! I also got some of here study notes off her Etsy profile and they have helped so much in school!
