New pre-nursing student "need advice"

Find your successful study habits. I spend years struggling with studying. I would study for hours, but nothing ever "stuck". Now I swear by flash cards. They work wonderfully for me. Here's a link I found on "How to survive A & P 2" it has some great study tips on it:

Good Luck!

Congratulations on your graduation! I think that a huge difference between high school and college is that you are somewhat self-taught in college. You will need to develop good self-discipline. I always read the material before the lecture to get an idea of what will be taught and then read it again after the lecture. Also, find study partners! I could not have made it as far and done as well without my "girls." Also, don't try to cram before tests--you will use so much of the information over and over, so really try to learn it, rather than just learning for the test. Good luck!

Say goodbye to high school life and hello to a completely different college life! Transition from high school to college can be overwhelming, I'm sure you've already heard. I'm a second year nursing student.

The biggest thing you need to remember is that doing well now in school is going to determine what kind of job you're going to obtain in four or so years.

Do your best, ask for help from your professor if you need it, and KEEP YOUR HEAD UP! motivate yourself! it's going to be very difficult if you don't know your stuff.

I found that using index cards helped for memorization.

Good luck! if you need any help, send me a message!
