To all current or graduate what habits good or bad have you picked up while in nursing school?

Specializes in ED, Medicine, Case Management.

What kind of habits? Health habits? Study habits? Picking our noses? ;) Whatcha looking for?

Good Habits- Making time to talk to strangers ( I learned this during my first semester of clinicals) I tend to be more open to talk to a lot of people, and I like to think it makes a difference!

Note-taking and studying- must have good habit in nursing school, but I have definitely improved!

Bad Habits-

SLEEPING. I hardly ever sleep at night. I have a very difficult time (actually, it's impossible) sleeping if I do not think I am fully prepared for the next day (test, quiz, clinical) the whole "Ill study later" thing doesnt work for me. BUT. I nap like it is my job, 3 or 4 hour naps during the school year in between work and classes.

And eating- I definitely am not the healthiest person in the world. I went from 135- 170lbs my freshman year because of stress eating :nailbiting:

My suggestion is try taking up exercise as a hobby! Zumba is a great way to take your mind off school, let a little steam out, have a little fun & burn off that mcdonalds you grabbed last week after clinicals
