How do I survive?

Published

Hey everyone! I am a first semester nursing student and I am trying to survive. It's been about 2 months into this semester and I feel so overwhelmed with all my classes. Can you please give me some advice on how to study for all my classes so I can survive through nursing school??

Study better, not harder. A lot of it for me was learning how to answer NCLEX style questions. There are usually 2 that you can narrow it down to. Get in the habit of prioritizing by ABCs and Maslow. There are many practice questions online that you could go through to better understand rationales. Good luck! 1st semester tends to be the hardest adjustment.

Get organized. Stick to your schedule. Most importantly, don't forget to take time for yourself to relax, unwind, and have fun.
