Did you keep all PAPER notes?

I'm starting my final semester in January and I am doing a bit of spring cleaning around the house before family comes over for the holidays. I am sooo close to tossing all papers from nursing school out. Please note: I have all electronic copies of lectures on my computer.

Did you study class notes for the NCLEX?

Keep everything or toss??

Thanks everyone!

Toss...I have reference books with the most up to date information.

I'd keep it until you've passed your NCLEX. Or at least create a summary of important stuff.

I'll probably won't throw all my stuff out. But I highly doubt I'd ever look at it ever again, if I wanted more info on something, if probably Google it or look it up in a book. Haha.

I'm only halfway through my ADN program but I have saved everything since my biology prereqs. I don't plan on getting rid of anything yet. I might change my mind when I run out of space though. Right now I have at least a 3" binder of notes from each class I've taken. I put so much time and effort into those notes that I woukd be sad to throw away my work.

The real value of handwritten notes on paper for me was the act of writing them. I relied on review materials for the NCLEX, maybe referring to my class notes once.

I've always been a pack rat, because I always think "what if?" so keep everything!

i kept them and didn't use them AT ALL... waste of space, toss them

I have always kept my papers neatly in binders and now at the end of my 4-year BSN program, I have about a meter high of binders filled with paper. I think I have looked through them once to find out something minuet. I am keeping them until I pass NCLEX so I can look into them if I REALLY need to, but after that I will probably toss them because after 2 years most of it will be out-dated anyways.

I've kept some stuff, tossed some other stuff. But when I'm done with school at the end of the year, I'm tossing it all out. In fact, if I was going into my last semester (preceptorship), I'd probably start ditching almost all of it.

I put my notes in expandable folders at the end of each semester. So I can re use binders and what not. The expandable folders take up less space then the binders.

I tossed mine. I have all my notes typed on the computer. No need to have two copies espeically when one takes up space.

I don't know how to personal message on here but can you email me more information about Port Saint Lucie Keiser University campus my email is [email protected]
