  3. How often should I be studying?

    runforfun replied to Scrubs_girl's topic in General Students

    Getting 9 hours of sleep every night, you probably should not be as tired as you are, especially with a nap on top of it. Are you honestly getting that much sleep? If so, it seems like there might...

  4. Health Assessment has got me depressed.

    runforfun replied to uhohbube's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I hate to point this out, but someone has to. You need to talk to the professor you are having trouble with. The one who is writing the exams. You don't have to like him/her you just have to...

    runforfun replied to dsf43's topic in General Students

    runforfun replied to ChrisMarie09's topic in General Students

    It sounds like you already have a system, go you :yelclap:. It can be a problem if you deviate too far from what works for you. Try sticking to your system and if it needs to be tweaked, then come...

  16. I Don't Know How To Study :(

    runforfun replied to peppapig123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Someone already hit on this, but if you have a smartphone, they usually have a voice recorder or you can download an app. Just test it out to make sure you get the quality you want-an actual recorder...

    runforfun replied to ChrisMarie09's topic in General Students

    It depends on how long your powerpoints are, what else you might want to print, and how much other writing you are doing. Last semester, I filled a separate 3 in. binder for EACH class. No matter...

    runforfun replied to Liddle Noodnik's topic in General Nursing

    runforfun replied to libran1984's topic in General Nursing

    runforfun replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Our recommeded book list includes the Pearson reviews and rationales that correspond to each of our classes. It's additional work because none of the professors actually include them in the...

  21. Textbooks cheaper.

    runforfun replied to jrinoldi's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    And don't forget to talk to any nurses you know, especially recent grads. My sister recently finished her ASN, I'm working on my MSN, but 2 of our books are the same (even the same edition!). We...

  22. Planners/calendars for nursing school assignments?

    runforfun replied to Jfbeck440's topic in General Students

    runforfun replied to Tinkx RN's topic in General Students

    runforfun replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    Props to everyone who bikes to school! I can't imagine biking to school with my backpack, It's huge and heavy, and almost never the only bag I have to carry. I seriously considered the long bike...
