Amazing quick read that will change my life as a full time single mother of 3 who commutes to nursing school. Wish I would have found this last semester!!!!! I managed straight As but it wasn’t pretty. I’m now excited to start this semester because of these tips! It really is an outline to a great life while managing success in nursing school. I will listen to this before the start of every semester going forward.

Worth a read

I am on the one month line of starting nursing school & attempting to sponge up any tips for this journey. I have heard many a suggestions to start study groups. This has never worked well for me in the past & I was stressed that it would hinder me in nursing school. It was a relief to finally hear someone say that study groups are a waste of my time & my success is not dependent on them. Then provide alterative ways to study that would be better used in my limited time. I have been practicing nclex questions this entire summer, & happy to hear that this is how you succeed in nursing school. Opposed to the many peers that told me I was wasting my time doing so.
I have added a few more things to do before school starts because of this book. As well as essential items to buy before school starts that will make a difference. I am also excited about the additional resources & planner mentioned in the book & will report back if they are useful!
Thank you for the tips & suggestions, I would recommend to any new nursing student/new nursing grad.

Very beneficial organization and study tips!!

the author gives a huge variety of study strategies, for all learning types. I will be enter the RN program next semester, and I plant to utilize ALL of her ideas! I love the idea of creating your own audio flashcards and I completely agree that large study groups are more of a social events then useful study session.
