As you approach the end of nursing school, it’s important to stay as focused and committed as you have throughout every other semester. Making the transition from student to licensed nurse goes much more smoothly when you’re prepared. Start looking into the cost of licensure in your state so that you’re ready to pay for it after graduation. You can also begin thinking about full-time employment opportunities. Work on your resume and brush up on your networking skills. The final semester of nursing school is exciting, but it can also be very busy. Try to stay organized and manage your time well. By being proactive about your plans, you’ll be ready to move on to the next phase of your career.
