Study Groups Necessary???

I hear all the time on these boards, "Get a study group!" when in nursing school. A few people in my class were trying to set one up but they don't all seem too motivated to get together. I am one of those people that thinks I probably do better by myself if I just PUT THE TIME IN TO STUDYING. Ok, granted, if I slack off and don't put the amount of time into my reading and studying obviously I may not understand so well and need a study group to "pick up the pieces". That said, seems like study groups would only be good for concepts that you are not grasping and need help on, but not for everyday studying/reviewing (assuming you are doing the everyday stuff). I am having visions of the study session quickly digressing into what nail parlor we go to or our most recent dates....which of course, would defeat the purpose.

So...............are study groups really necessary? I would like to hear from both sides...how did the study group help you/hurt you and if you are independent, how do you think that has served you/hurt you?

Thanks!:)

I tried the study groups during NS, but found I did better if I studied on my own first, then got together with like-minded students before an exam to review the material.

AVOID students that don't study as you do...AVOID nervous students because their nerves are contagious!!

That is so true :banghead:

I think that is why I don't find studying w/the others in this particular group effective. Some aren't strong students. The last thing I need to do is pick up their anxiety.

I'm new to study groups (I'm a type A:icon_roll) but they are working out really well. I am involved in several, and we stay on task, and everyone does their work ahead of time, as agreed upon. First test this week, so we'll see.
