So guys I'll be attending nursing school for the first time. I'm **** scared and don't know what to expect. I know that I want to get into this field because I just love giving back but when it comes to hitting the books ehh I'll be honest I hate it!! Can someone give me some kind of advice on how I should study?? Sometimes I just want to walk away from it all and not bother with nursing. What should I do??

one of the best things I've done to help myself study is i rewrite out my notes and explain them to myself, then I make myself questions out of my notes and put them on a powerpoint. so on one slide ill have a question, and on the next i have an answer. having teachers review this way always helped me so i figured i could do it for myself. id usually go over the powerpoints by myself and then with a friend or a group. because when you go over it with a group and theres a question that you arent sure about they can help you with it. but ive found its best not to review with group until youve studied by yourself. this is a really time consuming process but its helped me a lot, i have a 3.8 gpa, and the class that brought it down was one of my cores for the university. hope it helps!
