Advice from an upcoming senior studentā€¦šŸ¤

As I’m preparing my mind to enter my last semester of nursing school in an Accelerated RN nursing program i must say it was ROUGH! However, it was DOABLE! šŸ™‡šŸ¾ā€ā™€ļø

Advice i would give to anyone in semesters below me or anyone interested in nursing in general, is to give it all you got. You’re going to have days where you feel defeated, weeks where you feel defeated, maybe a whole semester may make you feel defeated, but KEEP GOING! Also, it’s okay to fail. It’s okay to fail an exam, it’s okay to fail a class; it’s okay to failllll. Cry about it but keep going. This time last year i failed a class literally by 0.2 points, not even a whole point! I cried about it, prayed about it, retook the class, PASSED the class, and now i’m entering my last semester. So it’s okay to fail I promise, long as you keep going.

Study wise? Do what’s best for you in order to help you retain the information. Personally I love practice questions, I love YouTube videos, and active recall. Find out what study techniques works best for you and stick with it.

Whatever you do though, GIVE IT ALL YOU GOT. šŸ„¹šŸ©·šŸ’‰šŸ©ŗ #nursingstudent #nursingstudenttips #blackgirllemon8 #rnschool #nursebae

... Read moreNavigating nursing school can be overwhelming, especially for those in accelerated programs. Many students struggle with time management and the intensity of their coursework. It’s crucial to prioritize your mental and emotional well-being while pushing through the academic rigors. Joining study groups or finding a mentor can provide not only resources but also emotional support. Resources like practice exams and online video tutorials can deepen understanding of complex subjects. Additionally, leveraging platforms like YouTube for nursing tips fosters a community of learners sharing insights and strategies. Remember, every nursing student has faced challenges; it’s about how you respond. Embrace setbacks as stepping stones towards success. Develop a personalized study plan that suits your learning style, whether it’s active recall or flashcard usage. Keep your end goals in sight, and connect with fellow nursing students, as their experiences can offer valuable lessons. Celebrate small victories to motivate yourself as you progress in your nursing journey. Never hesitate to seek help when needed, whether from peers, instructors, or academic resources. With relentless determination and the right strategies, you can excel in nursing school and beyond.
