Planners/calendars for nursing school assignments?

Published

Hi All,

**** I start nursing school in two weeks and wanted to know if anyone had suggestions on good school planners or calendars to put my assignments, readings, projects, tests, etc in. Are there any Iphone apps which are helpful or is a physical planner book better?? Any links or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks! :clown:

Love it! This is the one I use as well. It is worth it because it goes beyond just being a planner.... Tips, lab values, abg's, assessment etc

Hello! I have used a ton of planners and the best one I have ever used is from erin condren. Just google that and you will find the site. The planners are pretty expensive, but SO worth it and super cute.

I need alerts to harass me on my phone / computer. I use a combo of Cozi for calendar events (because I can have the alerts to sent to those in my family as well, and I need my hubby to keep up) and Astrid (for more to do lists / task lists).

A big one with lots of space to write! Don't go for a small one, you will regret it, not everything will fit on the days.

I use a franklin covey planner. It has two pages per day. the first pate is a 7:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. split into 15 minute increments. There is also a prioritized task list and spot for any phone numbers or e-mail addies you need for your to do list. On the other page is a "daily notes" I use this for homework assignments and notes. The to do list is for anything related to maintaining order in my family. There is also a monthly calendar at the beginning of each month and the set I bought has a budget and monthly project page as well. I don't tend to use them, but I probably should. I also have an address book in mine. The back has a spot for a note pad which I use for anything from notes to meal planning.

The fifteen minute increments help me schedule study time well. It also lets me be meticulous with my task list since I have ADHD and can't survive without checking off my list. Here are the links. Monticello Ring-bound Daily Planner Refill - FranklinCovey

I use Outlook on my laptop. I create calendars for each of my kids, one for general dates and then ones for each class. I use the Cloud to sync it to my iPhone. Best part, my husband has access on his phone as well so we all know what is going on.

Yessss! I think I read about it on a blog or something. I don't know, I read a lot of things, but then I looked it up on AN and everyone was raving about it, so I made it mine. I'm in love.
