Suggestion for supplemental help for new student

[charlie44]

Hello everyone, this is my first semester of nursing school, unfortunately fully online. 

I am having a difficult time just reading and trying to understand the information. Also it is a lot! I want to purchase some supplemental online programs like simple nursing or Kaplan nursing... does anyone recommend these? Or anything else?

 

Thanks

I've found RegisteredNurseRN on Youtube to be a very useful study tool. They use mnemonics in every video which are extremely helpful for memorizing potentially confusing topics.

I second this! Not only are the videos excellent, but they each have an associated quiz you can take after. And the topics are endless! I would also suggest Khan academy--their videos have been a fantastic tool for understanding the pathophysiology of each disorder, which in turn helps you understand the s/s, nursing interventions, etc. I also invested in the Saunders NCLEX prep app, and I use it both to help learn the material, but also for practice with the NCLEX-style questions.

Good luck!
