How to survive nursing school 101

Imagine paying thousand of dollars to go to nursing school just to realize your teachers are not the one that you learn anything from. Teachers will reiterate to you over and over again that they are there to just do overview and it’s your job to make sure you learn the material. it’s extremely disappointing and scary but yet you know you’re calling is to help others so you stick it through and you find out tricks and videos to help you learn the material so you can help others.

At nursing school, I learn teacher just talk to you as if you already have a medical background and Medical, common sense and knowledge you’ll have to work twice as hard if you have no medical experience when sign up to be a nurse. As you swipe above, you will see some of the YouTubers that I used to help me pass nursing school and also study for NCLEX PN.

Nursing school can be intimidating, and many students face challenges that stem from the fast-paced environment and the volume of information they must absorb. To thrive, it’s crucial to develop effective study habits and utilize available resources. Popular YouTube channels like Amanda PharmD and Nexus Nursing provide valuable content, including pharmacy learning videos and NCLEX review materials, which can clarify complex topics. Consider forming study groups with classmates to enhance understanding and motivation. Utilizing tools such as flashcards and practice tests aids retention. Focus on mastering core concepts rather than rote memorization. Additionally, don’t hesitate to seek help from instructors or academic support services when needed. Engaging with online communities on platforms like Lemon8 can also provide encouragement and sharing insights from fellow nursing students can lead to innovative study methods. Lastly, remember self-care; maintaining a balance between studies and rest can significantly improve productivity and mental well-being. By adopting these strategies, you can not only survive but thrive in nursing school.
