Hey Crystal, there are heaps of books you can read up on, many are as dry as a bone...LOL. Here are a couple that I think are pretty decent reading. "The Clinical placement - An essential guide for nursing studies by Tracy Levett-Jones & Sharon Bourgeois" : Nothing clinical here but its a good prep for people going into the nursing profession. "Nursing the surgical patient by Rosemary Pudner", " Wong's Essentials of Peadiatric Nursing by Marilyn J.Hockenberry.

This should keep you busy for a while...LOL

Hi Crystal
Good on you for planning ahead! I am just about to start my 3rd year and I would like to suggest getting familiar with basic anatomy of the body..bones, muscle and the systems of the body if you are really keen eg respiratory system, cardiac system endocrine system etc...background reading such as this should help...but dont get too bogged down on intricate details...just learn the basics.
Hope that helps
Sharon
