Thank you everyone for the advice, I really appreciate it. I'm really nervous about doing well in the program, but I'm kind of getting an idea of how to study for the chapters and what to focus on. I will definitely use the objectives as a guide and record the lecture.

I've gone through my first week of nursing school, and the amount of information you have to read and understand is absolutely overwhelming. For my fundamentals class alone it took me almost 2 days to finish reading about 50 pages over asepsis, and as the semester progresses the readings are going to be piling up and before I know it I'm gonna have to be reading multiple chapters a week. How do you guys read the chapters and study the information? I know its important to read the chapter summaries before reading the book, but how can I manage to read the chapters fast while retaining the information? My teachers also provide powerpoints, so is it better to study the powerpoints and use the textbook for reference to certain sections I don't understand? Is it also important to memorize the key terms (definitions)? I appreciate all the tips and feedback and thanks in advance!!
