Starting nursing school is exciting...but can also be intimidating at the same time! In this special bonus episode, Dr. Morgan Taylor, DNP, CPNP, CCRN is joined by Rachel Taylor, MSN-Ed, BSN, RN, and Director of Nursing at Archer Review, to share the mindset shifts, organization strategies, and community-building tips that will set you up for success from day one. 

From managing imposter syndrome to avoiding the perfectionism trap, Morgan and Rachel break down what really matters before you walk into your first class—and what you can stop stressing over (spoiler: it’s not about having the trendiest stethoscope).

You’ll get practical advice on: 

  • Building a “progress over perfection” mindset 

  • Setting up systems for organization that actually stick 

  • Finding your academic village (and why smaller study groups work best) 

  • Communicating with faculty before problems snowball 

  • Letting go of unnecessary pressure and focusing on what moves the needle 

Whether you’re weeks away from starting nursing school or heading into your next semester, this episode is a must-listen for walking in feeling organized, confident, and ready to learn.
