Study tips for a nursing student!!

[Ceeed123]

Hello all! I wanted to know if anyone had good tips on the best way to study. My school focuses all on the physiology but doesn't discuss the appropriate nursing intervention associated with the abnormality that is studied. I feel like I know everything discussed in class but when it's time to take the test, I get the answer wrong. Does anyone know of any intervention books or helpful study guides? Any feedback would be great! I use the nclex books to study and I record my lectures.

I suggest mary ann hogan's reviews and rationales. Gives you content in an alternate outline format, highlights important key notes and comes with a cd loaded with more questions. Much of the time these books were more helpful than my textbooks. How do you study now?

Thanks for the advice! As of now I am reading my text book writing notes from there, then I listen to my lectures and highlight the important facts and add anything that wasn't in my notes. After that, I read over my notes every day and the week before the test I do questions from the nclexpn books because I heard they are more helpful for the first and second clinical. It's just hard because my school doesn't explain any interventions so I can't see the whole picture. The nclex books do explain some rationales but I wasn't sure if there was anything better to use. I also have the test success book by nugent. I definitely going to look into the book you suggested. Thanks so much!
