Study Tips for Students

Good luck future nurses

1. Spaced repetition.

If you have not read the book "Your Memory: How it Works and How to Improve it" by Kenneth Higbee, do it. Not only will you learn techniques that will help improve your memory, he teaches you how to space out your studying based on research. Essentially you need to study in short fierce bursts each day, as opposed to cramming.

2. Time management.

Improving your time management will not only help you get through nursing school, it will help you when you become a nurse. Get a calendar and make a plan each semester. Plan out projects, exams, clinicals, etc. Be sure to make time for yourself to unwind, but it is crucial. Nothing can sabotage your education in nursing school more than getting behind in your studies.

3. Test questions.

One of the most valuable study aid I found was doing questions out of NCLEX review books. They correspond to the units in class. When we did the cardiovascular unit, I did questions out of the books on that topic. Always read the rationales in the answer section. Not only do they go over the correct answer, they help reinforce other topics as well.

Wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to give us future nursing program students this advice!! I start the program in January and I'm super scared of everything we're going to have to learn in the smallest amount of time!! I'm definitely going to have to pick up the memory book you recommended. Thanks again and best of luck to you!

Just so everyone knows, if I win the stethoscope I plan on donating it to my nursing school so they can raffle it off and earn some money. I already have a nice one so this one will go to a student.
