How much of your books do you actually read?

Dixiedi · Jun 19, 2004

When you're swamped with reading assignments, how do you keep up? Do you read everything, or just skim over the important things? Just curious as to how everyone manages.

I'm not a student anymore but when I was I read every book every page. Skimping through may get you enough to pass a test and even pass the boards but you will still have missed so much! I couldn't function if I knew information was available to me and I didn't take it.

Never be so rushed that you can't complete your reading assignments. You can eat, sleep and socialize in your next life. This one is devoted to nursing.

pretty much read it all - Nursing (4 different texts), A&P, Psych, Lifespan, Pharm. - Chemistry is one I "skim" and only read the portions I'm not completely comfortable with. It's working I've taken 34 units and have a 4.0

Work hard and good luck - but most of all enjoy it!
