Nursing schoolStudy tips below ⬇️⬇️⬇️

POV: You’re in nursing school and your brain has 3 tabs open… and all of them are frozen 🩺🧠

Here are my real-deal nursing school study tips that helped me go from stressed to less stressed:

1. Active Recall – Don’t just reread! Close your notes and try to write or speak out the info from memory. Use apps like Anki or Quizlet to drill it in.

2. Study in 45/15 chunks – Study for 45 mins, break for 15. It keeps your brain from frying like the clinical cafeteria eggs.

3. Teach It to Someone (or Something) – If you can explain it to your dog, your mirror, or a plant, you understand it. Bonus: they won’t judge.

4. Use NCLEX-style questions EARLY – Don’t wait! Practice questions train your brain to think like the test, not just memorize.

5. Whiteboard Everything – Draw anatomy, write drug facts, diagram body systems. Writing it out sticks better than just reading.

6. Prioritize Sleep & Protein – Your brain runs on fuel. Sleep is not optional. Neither is hydration. (Yes, I’m looking at you with the Red Bull and zero water.)

7. Make It Make Sense – Tie info to patient scenarios. If you’re learning about heart failure, imagine you’re explaining it to a patient.

8. Create “Cheat Sheets” Before Tests – Summarize the chapter or lecture onto 1 page. It forces you to pull out the most important info.

And most importantly: Don’t compare your progress. Nursing school is HARD. If you’re showing up, you’re doing amazing.
