The biggest mistake I see my classmates make is that they study for our tests like they would study for an A&P or a Microbiology test. They rely on rote memorization and dwell on insignificant "factoids" or statistics that you'll never have to know when you're working on the unit. Nursing school is more about the application of the knowledge rather than the knowledge itself. When studying, get a general picture of the pathophysiology of the disease, it's clinical manifestations, its interventions, and the potential complications (along with their interventions). It's a lot at first, but you start seeing a lot of overlap after time and begin to recognize patterns.What are some better study habits? I work semi full time..

More good NCLEX prep: download the RN Mentor app from ATI on your phone. It's $20, but you can generate your own random quizzes or custom quizzes of whatever topics you'd like. It's been really helpful for me. Any time I have a minute or two I'll make a random 5-10 question quiz and take it to see how I'm doing. Definitely seen a big improvement since I started.Get the Saunders NCLEX book, read the topic your test is in and get the Lippincott Q&A book to answer practice questions regarding the topics covered in the tests. Only so many ways to ask the same questions over and over again. Also a good prep for the NCLEX.What are some better study habits? I work semi full time..

I used to wear black and white Roshes, but after an incident of projectile diarrhea I've learned to wear beaters at work.Since this is NT: what kicks do y'all wear on shift?
I'm in placement and been wearing some beater Lunarglides, but my feet have been killing me lately.

Pretty much.
From what I hear from my nursing student friends, RN is just the first step. If you specialize the $$$ is even better
This how I prepared for tests while in nursing school. I would prepare for tests by writing essays on how all those points relate. It helped the information stick better.

I'm admittedly weak on pharmacology though. My program integrates pharmacology into every class but it doesn't offer it as its own course. Not even as an elective.
I know how you feel. I've been working full-time all throughout nursing school. You really have to manage your time wisely.

NT fam, sorry I had to grave dig my own thread, but I wanted to update ya'll on my current situation.
I'm finally done with my BSN program and #feelssogoodman.
It's crazy looking back at this thread that I created back when I just started my program, but man have I learned a lot.
I just had my Nurse Pinning ceremony this past Monday and my graduation is this Sunday. I plan on taking my NCLEX as soon as possible and it's off to sending my resumes in.
I'm actually planning on going back to school for my MSN by 2015 or 2016 so I can be on the road to become an NP. I wasn't too sure if I wanted to tackle the Nurse Anesthetist program just yet, so I leaned towards becoming a Nurse Practitioner. Besides, I get to continue to work as an RN while in the NP program, whereas I would have had to take a year off from work in order to become a CRNA.
My brother recently started working at a city hospital a few months ago and he's having a ball in the ER (I'm praying that I end up in the ER or ICU when I start work).
But for now, I'm just going to focus on my boards and sending out my resume.
KSteezy, where you at brah? I'm going to need some of the hospitals you were recommending a few years back.
I'm hoping everyone else who joined their programs around the same time I did are doing fine as well. I'd be happy to answer any questions that any other fellow NTers might have if they're interested in following the profession.
Here's the outfit I wore for my pinning ceremony.
God is good, fellas.

My woman is a nurse @ Einstein in the Bronx, if anybody needs a door in I could def help you out.
I have a Chem degree and 2 semesters away from my Masters thanks to a accelerated program. Have all the pre reqs to apply to nursing/med/pharm but I'm thinking about going to occ. therapy school or physical therapy now. So many options when you have science credits I just don't know what to do.
Plus I'm older so I don't have time to dedicate to certain things while maintaining my household.
