General Studying Tips

Hello everyone,

I am wanting some general studying tips for nursing school.

This semester in my program, our classes are :

1. Concepts/Clinical

2. OB/Woman's Health

3. Intro to Research

I did okay in my 1st semester ( its a night/weekend BSN, so I also work 40 hrs a week ). But feel like this semester is going to be a doozy.

I was wondering how you guys take notes and how you study.

I never really had to study in my 1st undergrad program ( business ). I'm learning that nursing school is WHOLE different beast !!

In advance, thank you for your advice. It is greatly appreciated.

    I had two notebooks for each class: a sloppy notebook and a neat notebook. I took notes in class--everything the instructor talked about. Even if they gave us a handout, I listened and took notes. That was my sloppy notebook. I could write fast and scratch things out, not worry too much about penmanship, etc. Then that night, I copied everything in outline form in my neat notebook --

    I.

    A.

    1)

    2)

    3)

    B.

    1)

    2)

    II. Etc...

    I made everything as perfect and neat as I could then, because I had the time. No visual distractions like misplaced points, scribbles, sloppiness.

    Then I reviewed all of that unit's material each night. I'm quite auditory so I'd read it aloud to myself (or to the baby haha!) to help retain it.

    I did that for every class.

    Grrr...AN took out my indents on my outline. The roman numerals I are not indented; the letters A) are indented, and the numbers 1) are further indented.
