    How to study for nursing exams?

    metal_m0nk replied to Tamch's topic in General Students

    I'll echo some of what is being said here. Your best bet is to read for comprehension, and not for memorization of the "surface concepts". There is far too much information for you to successfully...

    What do your study spaces look like?

    metal_m0nk replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    I didn't create a study space this time like I did in college the first time. My study space is wherever I happen to be at the time and depends on what else is going on. If I'm cooking dinner, then I...
