Wasting my time?

I am not sure if I am wasting my time as a result of the way I am studying Pathophysiology. I look at the professor's lecture notes, and while they are good, I feel like they don't go into enough detail. So I started taking notes out of the book instead. These notes take forever. I like using the textbook though because I think that it has details that will be important for when I am a nurse. The problem is that it takes so much longer then just using the notes that the professor provides. I have other classes to study for so I don't have a lot of free time. Should I keep studying out of the textbook even though it is a big time consumer? Does anyone think the extra details in the textbook are helpful?

    Does reading the text and taking more notes help you on exams? If so, then keep doing it. If not, maybe scale back little to add in more time to study for other classes. I know with one of my instructor's we only needed her note while another if you never opened the book you would have failed. Hope this helps you a bit.

    It helped, thank you. I think I will just take notes from the book on what she covers in lecture rather than the whole thing.

    Are you my twin??? I read everything in pathos and still barely passed the exam. Then I decided to try and read pathos every day for a couple hours. That resulting in falling behind in my other classes plus pathos. I don't read word for word anymore. I got this book: Pathophysiology Made Ridiculously Simple. It is so helpful, I only read it now and my lecture notes/teacher ppt and practice quizzes. It saves a lot of time. It's not good enough if you need to do a paper or something on a pathos topic, but it gives a lot more info than say Pearson's Pathophysiology Reviews and Rationales (which was not helpful to me for this class).
