Hello my fellow student nurses,

I am currently taking fundamentals of nursing. How did you all study effectively to achieve the grade that you wanted in the class? Thank you!

Before the lecture (preferably the day before or earlier) I would go to the end of the chapter questions and try to answer those by skim-reading until I found them and write the answers down. The power points were given to us so I would read those and only write what I thought was important down or that might get asked. The power points also had questions every few slides so I would try to answer those. I also was in a group with my classmates so we would quiz each other. If I had time I also tried to read as much of the chapter beforehand as I could but in my program I was also taking several other classes at the same time so for me I had to set priorities based on which exam was soonest or was worth the most points.

Hope that helps!
