Planners

Does anybody have a suggestion for a really good organizer/planner for nursing school? I feel like there are so many avenues that you take each semester, and a generic daily planner won't be detailed enough to keep me organized. Thank you!

Erin Condren planners seem to be popular and I had one in school. She has a website Erin Condren | Custom LifePlanner, Notebooks, Journals, Stationery

For something more inexpensive I love the Blue Sky planners. They sell them at Target and Walmart. I always get the monthly/weekly ones and write all of my assignments and to-do lists on the weekly layouts.

I also went with a Blue Sky planner from target and I think it's great so far! I actually really wanted an Erin Condren life planner and that was on my wish list of supplies for school but I just couldn't get past the price. The one I found at target will suit me just fine and has everything in it I need without the hefty price tag.

On top of using a planner I used a giant whiteboard calendar in the hallway of my house. On it I'd keep my school times, major due dates, any appointments I had, holidays, my husband's work schedule, my kid's schedule, and when bills were due. This let everyone in my household know what was going on with the household at a glance. It helped keep people from overscheduling or dropping the ball. Since it was in the hallway no one could claim they didn't see something! :)

The Happy Planner from Hobby Lobby or Michaels! It's an awesome planner that is very comparable to the Erin Condren. You can get for under $20 if you use the 40% off coupon from Hobby Lobby. I've been using it since I started nursing school and it has worked perfectly for me!

I also have an Erin Condren planner, its nice but the at a glance planners are just as nice and half the price

Look into bullet journaling. The system allows you to create the type of planner setup that works for you, and only takes as much work as you're willing to put in to it.
