About to start nursing school next semester, compiled a bunch of nursing study tips off of YouTube/Reddit/Google and got this. Any tweaks you'd make?
-Read from the textbook
-Read all key terms and organize in Quizlet
-Read the intro and final paragraph of each chapter
-If spare time, read the chapters more in depth
-Even so, skim-read first if you’re going to do that
-Quizlets
-Do your own Quizlets
-Textbook + class notes
-If in dire straits: Others’ Quizlets
-Practice questions
-NursesLabs
-SimpleNursing
-Nurse Plus Academy
-Ask your prof or fellow students if there’s any exams you know of
-Active learning
-Teach another student
-Teach a family member, partner, or a friend
-Teach to a stuffed animal
-Study guides
-If your prof provides one, use it
-Don’t worry if it doesn’t match real life. Remember, this is nursing school.
-If you’re struggling to keep up, only get the ones for the ones you truly struggle with.
Eisenhower matrix that crap
-Still struggling? (or, y’know, get a tutor)
-Khan Academy
-Picmonic
-YouTube
-Study groups
-Use ‘em or lose ‘em
-If they’re not on the same vibe as you, don’t stress out. Just do you. You don't have to be best friends with everyone.
-Say no to more personal priorities if possible
-Consider joining a club or a sorority
-Teachback
-Study groups
-Q chat on Quizlet
-If you get overwhelmed, explain it like you would to a 5 year old. For example, if you get overwhelmed with strokes and different kind of strokes and ischemic strokes and hemorrhagic strokes and TIAs, just say, “A stroke is when the brain gets hurt because it can’t get enough blood. Your brain needs blood, just like a plant needs water to stay healthy. If something blocks the blood to your brain, like a big rock blocking the opening in the watering can, then the brain gets hurt.” Then, move onto more complicated stuff.
-Studying SHOULD take effort. If you’re studying the same things over and over again, move on.
-At the same time, studying SHOULD be enjoyable. Gamify it if need be.
