Get into a bit of basic biology: cell structure, cell division, RNA, DNA etc

Do a bit of revision on basic chemistry: pH, concentration gradients, the table of elements and molecular weight etc.

Find a nursing book (library, bookstore) and have a read of things like vital signs, abbreviations, cultural nursing.

All the best with your future studies.

I found it handy to know the Metric System very well, so revisit it for calcs later on.

The biology mentioned is definitely worth considering. A lot of what was in Biology in high school (cept plants), applies.

I wish you luck with studies. I have been 'there' a long while and my biggest wish is that nurses better focus
on their communication and skills of compassion.
