Courtney’s Answer

Hi Hannah,

Time management- Setting limits for study and personal time as so not to be overwhelmed. I worked 2 jobs while in nursing school. Making priorities and having a written/electronic calendar is your best friend!

Exams- Understand that many of the answers on your exams are similar or seem correct. You have to practice critical thinking so that you can know which is the "BEST" answer of them all.

Commitment- Not hard, but stay committed. Stay around people that want to thrive. Go to those de-stress workshops to receive advice from people who have been where you are.

Courtney recommends the following next steps:

Make a realistic plan as far as time that you will need for school and/or work
Get into the habit of making schedules and prioritizing with calendars ! Make it as appealing with colors as you wish!
Thank you comment icon I had a great deal of responsibility when I entered nursing school with 2 small children and a household to manage. I believe being organized and staying ahead were the most important for me. I never felt stressed about projects that were done days before the deadline even though it was often challenging. I delivered my third child while persuing my BSN - mid semester. I delivered on Sunday morning early, discharged Tuesday morning and submitted my homework which was already completed that afternoon. My instructors were very understanding and were prepared for my assignment to be late. Diana Sprinkle

Laura’s Answer

The hardest part of nursing school is most definitely the time management. As a nursing student, things can get pretty hectic when balancing classes, clinicals, studying, work, personal time, and sleep. I was so forgetful my senior year; I was overwhelmed with classes, clinicals, work, a boyfriend, and buying our 1<sup>st</sup> house. Take great notes and write everything down. Set alarms to remind you of anything and everything you don’t want to forget. Do not procrastinate. At the end of each day of classes, organize your thoughts, notes and to-do list to make sure you don’t miss anything. Prioritize your homework and projects.

You can do it!  Nursing students stick together.
