I just wanted to start off by saying, I discovered this website way back when I was a junior in high school and only considering going into the nursing field. Even after I made an account (in 2013 I think?) I still do more lurking around than anything - now, I'm entering the last year and a half of my BSN program.
I'm posing this question to people already RN's because I'm hoping to get some good insight here. While you were in school, did you ever do extra studying on top of your schoolwork? I'm talking reviewing medications even after completing your pharmacology course, as an example. I'm asking because I see so many resources out there, and myself being a bookworm found an ACLS pocket guide at Barnes and Noble today that looked appealing, so I went ahead and bought it I guess now I'll know what to expect when I actually take an ACLS course!!
Did doing studying/learning on your own time help you when it came to the NCLEX? Do you still find yourself studying to keep up on your nursing skills? Any insight is helpful - or maybe you guys can tell me I'm just a nerd.
