How To Succeed In Nursing School
Caroline Porter Thomas is the author of How to Succeed in Nursing School & New Nurse? How to Get Keep and LOVE Your First Job as a Nurse. Which offers a revolutionary approach to achieving success in nursing school and as a Nurse.  Caroline graduated from Fayetteville State University, in May 2008, with a bachelor’s degree in nursing.  Currently, she works as an RN with Parallon Workforce Management Solutions in Miami FL in the Telemetry Float pool.   Ms. Porter Thomas passed the NCLEX examination on her first attempt; however, her nursing school had an overall 42% first time pass rate in 2008.  Since becoming aware of the fact that many of her classmates struggled through nursing school, her mission has been to identify the traits and characteristics of successful nursing students so that she can pass them on. Furthermore, Caroline also became aware of the nursing shortage which she believes is not due to a lack of interest in the profession, but due to the demanding nursing education curriculum that can be intimidating to aspiring nurses and difficult for many current students to complete.  Subsequently, she decided to write a book to help all those interested in pursuing a career in nursing. In her book, Caroline has included specific strategies that she created and used to cultivate motivation and study effectively. When Caroline was in nursing school, there were so many times she said to herself, “I wish I knew this before,” or, “How on earth do I study for these exams!”  After completing nursing school with honors, and passing the NCLEX on the first attempt, she realized she had a lot to offer to those who are just beginning their journey.   In addition to providing her own insight, Ms. Porter Thomas interviewed 25 different nursing professors nationwide on what the habits of successful nursing students are.  These instructors were from community colleges, universities, and even from prestigious schools of nursing like Yale, and Johns Hopkins.  This book also includes positive testimonials from students, recent nursing graduates, and even nurses who have been in the profession for over 30 years.  This material is intended to provide additional motivation to help students in overcoming the rigors of nursing education.  Through her book and public speaking, Caroline Porter is dedicated to fulfilling her life's purpose of helping people live more empowered and joy-filled lives through the vocation of nursing.
