I haven't worked in the field but I plan on doing an internship this summer at one of my top pick hospitals.

I'm currently in nursing school in a state that I don't plan to work in after graduation. My school is in a smaller more rural area and I want to go work in a larger city with magnet hospitals/academic hospitals. I always want to stand out but I don't know if that should be solely by my grades and school participation (clubs, tutoring etc.) or if I should go and meet and network with nurses at the facilities I want to be placed in, or a combination of both. I'm leaning more towards both but I would love to know what some of you did for placement after graduating.

I'm very interested in hearing about how you guys study for your nursing classes. i'm in my first semester of nursing school and the work is not hard, it's just the volume of work that we have to do. I'm returning to school after receiving my bachelor's almost 8 years ago, where i graduated at the top of my class doing very little studying. I had high test scores and a high G.P.A. in high school and barely ever opened a book. At this point I feel as though I don't even know how to study or what my learning style is. I would love some tips or advice for how to find a groove and what techniques people use to study and do well in their classes. thanks!
