Hello my fellow nurses(or nurses to be)!

So, I am in health and wellness, and it is the first class that is like the nursing style test questions. I am so use to studying via flashcards. Now, I just feel like a lost puppy. I have been going over a lot of threads on how to study and have noticed that a lot of people are saying to practice NCLEX questions, however, no material from this class will be on the nclex, I can use those tips next semester in fundamentals, but for now I need a different study tactic. I have no idea how to study or even where to start. Can you give me step by step how you study.

I would really appreciate it. I failed my fist exam and I am freaking out.

thanks y'all!

I am also a visual learner. I have found that YouTube is a great resource that provides a vast amount of videos, often with visual stimuli. KhanAcademy has been one of my close friends and provides many videos that covers a variety of subjects. It is broken down pretty simply as well, explaining concepts thoroughly. I'm not sure exactly what subjects are covered in Health and Wellness, but you can hop over to YouTube and search for key words. I guarantee someone has made a video over it.

lorirn2b The curriculum and test style questions from the country I am a nurse from is completely different then the ones in america/ which is why of course none of my credits would transfer from my country to here, meaning I have to go through nursing school all over again.

Does that make sense?

Hi Rachel and dear fellow nurses!!

I completely understand your problem. Studying had been a huge struggle for me at the beginning, finding the right methods and such. I stumbled across a very effective study tool online called efaqt. It's online, and the basic account is incredibly useful and doesn't cost anything! I created a free account and started summarising my books and lectures on this account. Also, i was able to make flashcards and reheorifice everything I had studied. It just really helped me structure all the content of my books, and helped me to approach it in a different way than I used to (the tool supports you with encouraging tips as well). Also, you can open your summaries anywhere you have internet and a laptop. Recently, I started using the Pro-account that includes features like mind maps. Costs a few bucks a month, but I'm pleased I did the upgrade. Since I use efaqt, I pass all my exams and I'm so much more relaxed! :):):)

Really, I could recommend it to everybody! you could try it on Study smarter. Remember it all · eFaqt

Hopefully it works for you too.. :) Best of luck to all of you!!
