  8. Laptops and Nursing classes

    I would get a USB flash drive and save notes onto that. In regards to the clickers.. If you type faster than you write then go ahead and use the computer because there honestly no sense in NOT using a computer and losing some of the lecture because ...

  16. study habits

    I just started but what has worked well for me so far has been taking notes along with the powerpoint and reading all those little tables in my books. I make flashcards for most tables such as clinical manifestations and I usually carry them around. ...

    I did a care plan for "Readiness for Enhanced Self-Care", but I can't figure out what to use as an r/t... My NANDA book only says "to be developed" for the r/t factors... Could I use "an expressed interest to become more independent AEB: request made...
