Some second year students are saying if I don't get into a study group I'll never make it out of nursing school, but I've found that I do best without study groups, the two times I tried studying with study groups I received my two lowest grades. My technique is to make flash cards and study them along with the provided powerpoints and I maintained a B average in first semester nursing. Do you guys believe a study group is essential? Helpful? Useless? Chris. Georgia. :balloons:
