Nursing School Tips (check the caption!!)

yooo idek how to use this app but i had a 3.8 GPA in school while working 1-2 days a week as a pediatric CNA, while also having time to go out, work on my fitness a little, etc. so i have some tips for you guys!!

1) school comes first! i’m so serious when i say that finishing your assignments or at least STARTING them before having any fun for the week is absolutely paramount to your success.

2) find a good environment for focus, i recommend libraries, cafes, etc if your house is too loud or there are too many distractions

3) doing quizlets while waiting for your ride, and watching lecture videos while you’re on the treadmill at the gym are good ways to study during your spare time

4) work per diem in the healthcare field! choosing your own schedule literally cannot be beat, plus i had a major advantage over other classmates that did not have healthcare experience when applying for jobs, and getting placed for my senior partnership

feel free to ask me questions in the comments

... Read moreNursing school can be an overwhelming journey, but with the right strategies, you can excel amidst the challenges. Establishing a disciplined routine is essential for success; prioritize your assignments to ensure your academic responsibilities are met before personal activities take precedence. Creating a suitable study environment enhances concentration. Libraries and quiet cafes can be perfect settings if your home is too distracting. Additionally, harness small pockets of time for studying. For instance, use mobile apps like Quizlet during your commute or review lecture videos while exercising, allowing you to maximize productivity even when time is limited. Moreover, working as a per diem employee in the healthcare field can drastically enhance your practical skills and employability. This flexible work arrangement allows you to dictate your hours, providing you with invaluable hands-on experience which can set you apart from peers lacking clinical exposure. Many employers value candidates who show initiative in gaining real-world experience. Finally, engage with your community. Don't hesitate to ask for advice or assistance from peers and instructors. With dedication and proper planning, you can thrive in nursing school and pave the way for a successful nursing career.
