studying anyone?

I know you already took your test. How did it go? I usually give myself the day before a test off. I like to relax, eat a good meal, and catch up on sleep so I am ready to go the next day. If it is a big test, or I don't feel confident I will get to class a hour early to refresh my memory before the test.

Just experiment and see what works for you.

i did ok. i mean i didnt do great, but i passed. and in the world of nursing school, these tests are like no other. im sure you know. but i am def going to take that into consideration because sometimes i feel like as much as you need to study, you obviously need to maintain a life as well. atleast i do or im gonna go crazy. i feel good though, i feel smart, and i will succeed - thank you for the advice!

Congrats! Passing is all you can hope for with nursing school sometimes. It is so hard to balance your time in school. Yes, you always need to study because there is just so much material, but you need to maintain some sanity at the same time.

I had some classmates who would always stay up cramming until 4am the night before the test. They would get 2 hours of sleep and take the test at 7am and do just fine. I tried that once and failed miserably! I was so tired I couldn't even remember the things I did know. I am one of those people who need sleep and a full stomach to function. Good lock with school!
