New Nursing Student

[acceb29]

I am a new nursing student, and there is so much information to organize and keep together. Does anyone have any tips on how to stay organized or anything you wish someone told you at the beginning of your nursing school journey? Thanks for the help. :)

If you go to Pinterest and set up a free account, you can "pin" alot of very informative topics. It can be a time suck....but search for nursing school tips or studying for nursing school. good luck!

I have a nursing board on this as well....here you go https://www.pinterest.com/busylilnurse/

The biggest organizational skill I have is to get a calendar and plan everything. Schedule study time, class times, due dates etc. This has really helped me stay on top of things. I keep a 3 ring binder for each class and use dividers to organize materials for each.

I agree with this. I am in an accelerated program (8 weeks left!!!) and my life saver has been a detailed calendar that I can color code assignments, exams, clinical basically anything that is due or takes up my time. Then I plan out studying and my other obligations around those!

Good Luck!

Definitely get a planner / calendar and keep it constantly updated. It is so easy to forget about an assignment amongst all the chaos.
