My RN nursing program started this new thing with their program semester (also my 1st semester in Nursing School), where all classes like, Fundamentals, Med-Surg, Pharmacology, Pathophysiology, are in the same class! Next semester it will be those, plus OB and pediatrics. I have 6 books for one nursing class that meets twice a week 2 hours each. I researched, YouTubed, and asked licensed RN's if they've ever heard of this before and their answer is no. I can not find information anywhere.
We have so many chapters out of each book to read before class on Monday. We do have a syllabus that have objectives for that week. I was answering just the objectives so I can at least participate in class. That is about it. It's hard to keep up with that reading let alone study each chapter in each book.
My question is, has anyone or is anyone going through this? how do I study? Stay organized? Take notes? When to make flash cards? No one has done this type of program before me so I can't ask anyone. I tried to take notes and separate them by books, didn't help and everything was scattered. I tried doing it by subject just recently. Didn't work. I even tried to just make flash cards on important things in each chapter of each book, didn't work and waaaaaay too many wasted cards because most of it wasn't on the test! The objectives for each week doesn't cover the details of the test. (Haha, I know, welcome to nursing school). Someone out there has to know something! I am desperate!
