Do any of you use planners? If so, which one do you recommend?
I currently use the app called iStudiezPro. It does work but there is quite a bit of fussing with it to show accurate GPA etc. It has a desktop version to sync with so as long as you have your phone you have your agenda. It's not pretty but it's quite functional.
I'm thinking of moving back to a "paper" format and just wonder what the rest of us nursing students use to stay organized.

I've been using Moleskine for 8 years. The weekly one has less room per day, but has an opposite lined page to organize to do lists, due dates, etc. They also make a day planner if you need it broken down by the hour. I cannot imagine living without a paper planner, it has kept me so organized!
Edit: I tried the daily one during school, but found it too rigid and thick. The weekly one worked best for me using color coding e.g. Blue for school, red for clinical, green for work, and black for life stuff.
