What was/are the 3 things that got/get you through nursing school?

Published

It could be a teacher, a friend, a electronic, a certain study habit. I'd just like to know. :yeah:

Specializes in Neuro/Med-Surg/Trauma ICU.

Still getting through it but..

Family: enough said!

Reliable car: man I spend so much time in it and have gone through every emotion! It's a good place to calm and recompose

Computer: not just for school. For games videos pictures.

Specializes in Cardiac.

No.1 Endless praying

No.2 discipline

No.3 Telling myself everyday (especially on clinical days) that failing was not an option.

1. Prayer 2. Caffeine 3. An amazing support system

Get out of my head. :) I was going to the same exact thing.

The three things that have got me 4/5 of the way through nursing school so far have been (in no particular order): 1: Borderline obsessive organization 2: Actually reading the reading assignments and 3: my prescription for adderall ;)

Netflix...when I actually got a break I took full advantage!

Diet coke

iPhone...couldn't have done it without my calendar alerts.

Coffee, Coockies, Exceptional Time Management..

My mac book air, my husband and the rest of my family who listen to my semesterly nervous breakdowns, and the thought of graduating with my BSN :)

1: My outlook calendar (I scheduled myself to within an inch of my life, but I can't argue with the results!) 2: Caffeine 3: Amazing instructors

Family, nursing school buddies and lots of Dr Pepper

A GOOD CALENDAR/PLANNER (which was my bible - kept me organized, scheduled every hour of my days), exercise every single day and a very supportive husband :)

Specializes in Emergency/Cath Lab.

Keystone Light, Call of Duty, my friends.

1) Yerba Mate tea-much better than coffee for studying and it doesnt mess my stomach up.

2) My Cat-nothing like snuggling up to a warm furry animal after a looong lecture.

3) Skiing/Hiking-getting out into nature and away from the books really helps clear my head and get grounded to be more present with my patients and school work :)
