"Question Everything. Learn Something. Answer Nothing."

I was diagnosed with ADHD during nursing school, so my classroom time wasn't as 'enriching' as others might have experienced. Quite honestly I learned nothing while sitting there while balancing my checkbook, writing in my new planner, and you get the drift. Simply remember this advice and you will be thanking me later.

First: Repeat after me "PowerPoint handouts are my friend"

Second: Find a pen that you would fight to the death over, it's a nurse thing, and have a one subject notebook.

Third: Get out your PowerPoint handouts and your textbook. Find referenced material from handout in book and begin to write.

Finally: Write till the cows come home.

Don't be intimidated by your book or try to be overzealous and read additional chapters; as that's simply mental suicide. Stick to what you have been told to study. Nursing school really is a walk in the park.
