Best planner for nursing school?

What's the best planner you've found for school? Preferably a planner I can buy in store.

I start clinicals this quarter and I know I'm going to have to be very strict with my time management!

I'm starting my nursing classes this fall and I've decided to use the google calendar because you can make easy adjustments and you can put a reminder on it. Also there is an app for your phone and everything goes on it. And on top of everything it is FREE.

I have a 1407 planner I got off of etsy. I plug everything into my google calendar too. I also put everything on a big blotter I have on my desk.

This one is amazing! It's a bit pricey on this site but there are plenty on Ebay and Amazon for cheaper, although the cheap ones on Ebay just recently sold out ;_;

Yeah because I got the cheap one for the Dollar Tree and it works like a charm.

I think the hour by hour ones are a bit excessive, especially as a nurse. Clinicals run over, commutes are variable, and you never really know how long studying is going to take. When I was in school, I used a full-sized one that just had the dates. I like the full-sized ones, because they actually let you put in what you need to do. And I always made sure to put things in earlier than they were do, and I always left myself one day a week "spare" where I could finish up whatever I didn't get to finish before.

In the end, I don't think the planner matters. What matters is that you use it and find a way to stick to it. That being said, I do personally like the bluesky weekly planners that are 8.5x11. As you can see, I used them from my freshman year of college all the way to my senior year. XD
