I graduated last summer from nursing school. I have been a practicing RN since October. Yes the journey does have a happy ending. With nursing school right around the corner I think it is only right to post studying tips from other students, to get off in the right direction. When I was in school I tutored other students in Nursing. The main help was teaching others how to study, The knowledge is in the books, but retaining all that info. is the hard thing. So I will post a few. Feel free to add.
1. Organize, organize, organize.
2. Highlight important info., key words and phrases. (So many times I had students Highlighting the whole book)
3. study groups, but only study with others who are serious about studying. Many times it turns into a social get together. And nothing gets accomplished.
4. Make play dates with your children, because when it is time to sit down and study your kids will be happy with the time already spent with them.
5. Study in chunks, Really break down the material into small bits. Easier to remember.
6. Use a crockpot and plan meals ahead when you have time. Casseroles are great.
