How to manage other students who rely on your notes and study guides?

[FutureNICUnurse88]

To give context, I came into nursing school with no study habits. Failed my first semester came back the next year, did a lot of growing up and now I consistently gets 90s on my exams. (Praise the Lord) 

I love helping others In my class if they are struggling cuz I've been there and have a solid routine of studying now. I make a big study guide for each exam. Half of what makes it helpful for me is just creating it since rewriting material helps me memorize. 

before exams me and my classmates will find time to study together. They caught on to the fact I'd make my own study guide and wanted a copy of it. No problem cuz I want to help if I can. Now before every exam our group chat always asks for it super far in advance. I don't always have time to 100% finish it before exams especially if we have multiple in a week. Again half the reason I make it is cuz making it helps me study. Then they started getting angry if I didn't have it done in a certain period of time. I usually had it fully done 5-7 days before an exam, and they'd get mad saying that wasn't enough time. 
 

they are all my close friends. I love each of them and love to help them. But I don't like feeling responsible for their studying. I feel like I've been very generous. I've tried to explain that the study guide was part of how I studied and not meant to be ready at a certain time. They just think I'm gate keeping it. Any advice on how to set good boundaries? I want them to succeed but also don't want to feel responsible for them

You started helping them by sharing your study guide.  Now, when they don't get it in what they consider a timely fashion, you're the bad guy.  While you consider them "close friends," I'm not sure they view you the same. 

Based on what you've posted, it seems to me they are taking advantage of your generosity.  You overcame failing your first semester, subsequently developed good study habits, and are now doing well.  And they can do the same.

In my opinion.  While I understand your wanting them to succeed, it isn't your responsibility, and their expecting you to share your study guide is a stretch, and in my opinion borders on using you, and your generosity.  Do not get caught up in this drama, and definitely do not let this affect your success.  And, unless you get something other than aggrevation from partipating in these study sessions, stop

If it were me I would show them what worked for me and share my study habits and techniques; but not my study guide.

Best wishes.
