   Elizabeth 123 replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Are you able to order your book soon so you can start studying? I studied for at least 3 - 4 weeks before the class began, and took notes from the textbook, and it helped a lot. At least I had heard...

   Some students like the A&P coloring books. Go to Barnes & Nobles and look at several different ones and see if a particular coloring book suits you. How about flash cards? Some students...

   Start studying the book now! And as someone else suggested, perhaps the Dummies book or something similar also. Our community college uses the test bank for lecture tests, which can be hard - they...

    Elizabeth 123 replied to Elizabeth 123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am having a challenge with spending hours studying for lab, when I would rather make sure I learn all of the pages of lecture material. But I can't let up on the lab grade either, as of course the...
