Becoming a Master Juggler

I used to read my notes into a recorder so I could listen to it while I drove to school and work. Try to eat healthy, exercise and guard your sleep as the precious commodity it is. Other than that I'd advise attempting to really kick butt at the beginning of the semester so you have some leeway grade wise when you are cross-eyed with exhaustion at the end of the semester.

I admire your moxie and wish you all the best.

Thank you for the advice. Buying a micro recorder tomorrow!

Jules makes a good point with being burned out at the end of the semester. It's the end of a summer term, and everyone is dragging.

Us nursing students have to learn how to prioritize our time. Cut out anything that takes up extra time from what's important.

And you'll find that you juggle things differently from one semester to the next; depending on what classes are going on, and if you have clinicals.

Make sure you sleep, and eat, and take a breather between study breaks!

Just check with your school first. Mine won't allow any type of recording on any type of device, lecture, lab, or clinical.... booooooo.

I rarely recorded lectures. I would read my own note cards into the recorder because for some reason saying it out loud seemed to cement it in my head.

I totally did not read your comment thoroughly! I just saw the reply about buying a recorder and didn't realize that it wasn't the typical record lectures and play them back suggestion.

I was never much of lecture recorder anyway for my prerequisites, I may just try your suggestion if I find myself needing an extra study method.
