Dear Future Nurse,

If you’re reading this, you might be wondering if this playbook is really worth it or maybe you’ve already purchased it and you’re hoping it will help make nursing school feel a little more manageable. Either way, I want you to know you’re in the right place.

I created this playbook during my own time in nursing school, when I felt overwhelmed, stretched thin, and unsure if I was studying the “right” way. Like many students, I spent hours staring at notes, rereading material, and still feeling confused. I needed something clear, organized, and practical something that helped me understand instead of just memorize.

That’s exactly what this playbook is meant to be.

This guide isn’t here to replace your textbooks or promise shortcuts. It’s here to help you study smarter, focus on what truly matters, and feel more confident as you move through nursing school, exams, clinicals, and into practice. It’s designed to reduce overwhelm, save time, and give you a stronger foundation to build on.

If you’re feeling unsure, behind, or questioning yourself, please know this: those feelings are a normal part of nursing school. Struggling does not mean you’re failing it means you’re learning. Every challenge you face is shaping you into the nurse you’re becoming.

Take your time with this playbook. Use it as a support, not a source of pressure. And remember, you don’t have to have everything figured out right now. You just have to keep going.

You belong here. You’re capable of more than you realize. And one day, you’ll look back and see how far you’ve come.

With encouragement !
