My biggest tip- study hard EARLY!!!! Don’t wait until you’ve bombed a test or 2 to get it together. I’ve had so many friends who have not studied nearly as hard as they should’ve, bomb two tests and a few quizzes, and THEN start trying. ITS SO MUCH EASIER TO MAINTAIN A GRADE INSTEAD OF DIGGING IT OUT OF A HOLE!!! things happen, and it’s easy to bomb a test but make sure it’s not a test you could’ve gotten a B on

*future nursing student watching this knowing she has no idea what she’s doing

Recent nursing grad here: my biggest study tip is to just allow yourself to be done. If you feel done, YOU ARE DONE. Get dinner with your friends the night before, watch a movie with roommates, and just enjoy college. I watched so many nursing students drown in work, and forget that college is supposed to be fun!!!! Good luck, I don't even think you'll need it! xoxo (also, don't use flashcards and READ ATI!)

I watched every single crash course vid on anatomy (before I even took a&p1) to prep for my TEAS... I got in the 82nd percentile on the TEAS without ever taking an anatomy class 10/10 would recommend Crash Course

I would take my notes/powerpoints/readings and make charts. For each disease process I would put the symptoms, causes/risk factors, diagnostic tests and nursing interventions/treatments. It helped me to have all that info in one study guide vs having to look at multiple sources when studying. When trying to learn signs/symptoms of diseases it helped me to focus on what symptoms made one disease different from the other instead of trying to memorize every single symptom for every disease. I also tried the best I could to make my study guide/study each lecture before the next time that class met so I wasn't overwhelmed when it came time to study for the test. That's what I found worked best for me in nursing school and NP school. And taking everything one day at a time!

I'm in my junior year of nursing school, in Med surge and pediatrics together. The transition to online has been EXTREMELY hard for me to find motivation because i'm not one to usually study at home. I will find any excuse to go to bed! This transition has taught me a few new learning tips: 1. watch the lecture video's if they are posted on line, taking notes on the slides and the important information the professor stress. 2. read the chapter on the material you just went over. 3. make study guides & to practice.... read them out loud to yourself, or anyone who is willing to listen. use the white board to quiz yourself on what you just went over and write it out!

“I’m gonna pass and I’m going to do amazing” .. LOVED THAT 💜❤️ that’s what I sometimes have to tell myself!

i’m not even a nursing student, but i LOVE the way you do your notes!

RegisteredNurse RN is a gem! What helps me the most are PRACTICE QUESTIONS🙏🏽🙌🏾 they allow you to get an idea of how the exams may be worded.

I just got accepted into nursing school and I’m so nervous! I’ve been binge watching your videos trying to prepare myself! My orientation is in July!🤩

You go girl! I ended up not passing one of my classes my very first semester and now I’m in my last and I should be done here in literally a few days with my BSN. There is a light at the end of the tunnel I promise! I actually had one of my favorite instructors sit me down and she told me what I needed to hear which was to read. And like you, I hated it and it was hard but I did it and it helped so much. I study pretty similar to you and you got this!

Something that helped me so much that I started doing in my third semester and helped me so, so much was either staying at school in the evening or going on the weekend and using an empty class room with big white boards. For example if we would be tested on CHF that quiz, one of us would write the patho and S&S on the board, and another the interventions. Then, we would would teach to each other what we had just written on the board. This way, you incorporate writing, reading, explaining / teaching the material to someone & listening! It really pushes you to understand the material better. Of course, we can't do that with quarantine, but I might try to do something like on teams with a few friends.

Im about to finish my 1st year of nursing school. I'm in a 2 year BSN program. All I do is take the instructor's PowerPoints and print 4 slides per page. That way for lecture I write in notes the instructors talked about for that powerpoint. I also record my classes because I'm not a fast writer and granted, there's a lot of information being spewed out lol. Umm I hardly read- I'm not proud of that. I wish I could read but when I do I also take my own kind of notes. Preparing for exams I just read over the PowerPoints. In a perfect world I would type out the PowerPoints with my notes and have nice, concise, clean notes so in the end when it comes to studying for the NCLEX, everything is ready. I haven't failed a test, class, or struggled to pass a class with the method I have. Keep up the good work!! 😁 youll do great!

I’m not in nursing, but I am going into a medical program and I SWEAR by just writing and rewriting the information I’m learning. I also love the online study tools that text books come with. These are just ways I find success when studying.

I am going to be starting nursing school in the fall so I love watching videos like this! I have found with my previous degree in psych that the way I studied for classes changed with the class. For some classes, all I did was read the textbook over and over again, while taking notes. Other classes I just had to rewrite my notes out several times, and barely read the textbook. So honestly I think the most important thing is to have strong study habits and foundation, then adapt it to each individual class.

My program uses the same textbooks, I HIGHLY recommend printing the PowerPoint and taking notes on that especially if the instructors have their notes pages in the PowerPoint. I do this so all my notes are in one place when I’m studying. Then for each disease I work out the nursing process. Doing these two thing alone took my grades from failing to high B’s

I love all your study tips!! It took me forever to find something that worked for me. But what I found the most helpful was practice questions. Granted you have to know the material before you do questions. What I did was go through the assigned PowerPoint and write notes on them from class. Then, I would fill in more information from reading the book. I would make study guides to have all the information in one place. After you’ve gone through the material, doing questions and reading/writing down rationales helped me understand why I would get a question wrong so that later I would go back to my notes, the book, or study guides to focus on those concepts. Doing questions helped to gauge how much I knew the information, how well I was applying it, and what areas I needed to focus on. My school used ATI and I would do questions from their Learning System 3.0 bank that’s under the Test tab. The adaptive quizzes under dynamic quizzes is where you want to go. It will give you thousands of questions and divide it by each nursing class. I’m not sure if you’re school has access, but my school gave us a code for BoardVitals that’s under the NCLEX Prep tab. This is similar to Learning System 3.0 but has thousands more questions divided into more concepts and the Client Needs Categories that NCLEX will test on. Last week I passed my exit exam and I’m so happy to be done with nursing school. ☺️ Definitely wish I knew sooner that doing questions would be a game changer. Hope this helps and that you find a study method that works for you! Good luck in nursing school, you’ll be an amazing nurse ❤️

My day just got better! Thanks for uploading! Currently going through this! It’s definitely a challenge taking nursing classes at home but almost done and hope I pass! 💜 good luck to you when you start again!

One thing that has helped me with studying: 1- If they have online lecture videos or you record the lecture just watch it multiple times. I would do it 3-5 times 2- Study the material before you go in take notes in class that you didn’t know or they talk about more. Then when you get home write your study notes. 3- Like you said make your own study questions they may ask you.

super helpful video!! i am SUCH a visual learner so I can relate to you! I have to write everything down and go over it multiple times. For me it helps if I am able to "teach" a concept to someone...that ensures that I know what I am talking about and how to explain it in easy to understand terms

Your God sent! 🙏 so glad I found you between the self care tips and studying tips your explanations are so clear and your voice is so soothing. Thanks a million and please share more studying tips especially for people that like to procrastinate. Take care xoxo

I draw lots of pictures and use specific colors for specific concepts because I’m a super visual learner. drawing pictures makes studying fun and helps me to remember information!

I’m new to your channel and I love all the contents you put out there! I’ll be starting nursing school this year and looking forward to applying your study tips. :) Keep up the good work on the videos! They’re so motivating!

I'm from Scotland and I'm in 1st year of university studying adult nursing & I am currently trying to adjust to online classes and modules! 💗 These tips were so helpful & I'll be trying out some new techniques and hopefully they help me! Hope you're keeping well Madi Xx

I love nursing students vlogs! It keeps me motivated. In August I’ll start my third year of nursing school and will graduate in June 2021. 🙏🏼❤️

OMG! Thank you I spend alot of time writing and I really don't have the time and the notes from Cee Cee's is awesome! Thank you so much for sharing I just started the RN RESIDENCY PROGRAM I'm in my first semester. Girl I love you thanks again for sharing I looked at 20 videos before I reached yours. I'm so THANKFUL! Angel

I want even CLOSE to thinking about being nurse and going to nursing school. You have made me rethink my choices! Now all I want to do is be a nurse

I started studying but decided I was unmotivated and wanted to watch your new uploads. Now I'm watching this and I'm super motivated and want to go back to studying 😆

I'm a freshman at the Korean Nursing School! I'm not going to school because of this Pandemics, but I'm motivated by your video. Thank you :D

thank you for your tips incoming 2nd yr here!! these things helps me to study so much🥰💖

I’m always told my handwriting is neat....but GOSH your handwriting is SUPER neat! :)

This video really helps me. I’m actually doing some research for online classes and tips on how to study as well to prepare myself.

You’re so inspiring, I really admire how dedicated you are to your career. I love your videos so much, you motivate me a lot. I wish you the bestttt. 💓

I start nursing school this fall and you are one of my fav KZfaqrs to watch to give me motivation and get me excited! Thank you 💕💕😊

Excellent video !! Your notes are so beautiful! I am going to try these tips ! Thank you

I LOVE the way you labeled your books…. I need to do this to my books

Thankyou for the study tips honey! ❤️ I love when you upload!! I even rewatch videos sometimes until you upload a new one☺️💕, and I loveeee your handwriting!!!

I follow you on instagram and watch all your videos!! Im currently a nursing student and when ever I have those hard days or lack motivation I watch your videos and they really keep me going and help bring my motivation back up. Thank you so much keep doing what your doing because your followers really appreciate you and all of your content!!

I always look forward to you uploading! It always makes my day better and you’re someone who I look up to and inspire to be. This is a very helpful video to me as I will be starting pre- requisites possibly next year if I can dual enroll with my school. Thank you for all you do ♡. - Melanie

Your videos are soooo encouraging 😢 thanks so much. I’m praying of if it will be feasible and a good idea to transition into nursing school and these videos have been soooo helpful & encouraging.

Amazing thank you im about to start nursing school in a month and this really helped

Objectives and practice questions! I’m in an accelerated program and learned fast that I didn’t have the time to write out my notes like I use to so I’ll type out all the objectives and then export them to my iPad so I can write/draw/highlight on them for studying. My finals are through Kaplan so I’ve been doing practice exams on topics that will be on the finals and then making a study guide for all the rationales that Kaplan gives

Oh my goodness, your handwriting is so good. I’m starting medical assisting classes soon and I wanna take good notes lol

ending my 2nd semester of 4 of nursing school in a few weeks! love your videos!!

I just finished my medsurg semester and I was literally DYING lol. I just hope these next 9 months before graduation aren't as hard 😭 Good luck on your journey!!

I like your video. I'm inspired to incorporate them into my vlog series. More power!

Hi I love your videos and your such a sweet person! Also crazy beautiful. I am in my finals week finishing my first year of nursing school!! I’ve been doing a lot of studying lately. I am a visual learner too and can’t stay focused reading either. I need to be interactive. What I do is in Notability or you can do with your white board I’d recreate the notes we are given based off memory and then go back and fill it in with what i forgot and star that to look over. I also will add in pictures from Pinterest for a different way of phrasing things. I also watch KZfaq and rewatch my lecture recordings and fill in my notes of anything I forgot. I am also really big on color coding too. I also go to my professor during his office hours and have him ask me questions to study and then if I can’t get it he helps me fill in the blanks or reteaches it. I hope this helps you!!

My textbooks (Elsevier company books) can be registered online and they have practice questions for each chapter! And the Saunders book has online questions which are the BOMB!!!

My Fundamentals teacher would make an online Google docs for each chapter. Each doc would be an important part for what's on the test and what page of the book it's located. Each student would be assigned one to fill out and then we would go over them the following week in class. Then I would take notes off of those and fill in more "in class" notes based on what was talked about. ☺️

So funny that in the states you use OLDCART & ICE, in Canada we use OPQRST! Good luck with your program, I just finished!! 💕

I used a med-surg success book from amazon and it was amazing!! It simplified what I learned in lecture and had so much information over disease processes. I highly recommended! Helped me understand concepts so much better! Love your videos💞

You are keeping me sane through the quarantine❤️

What a queen I start my first semester of RN this Tuesday.

I’m finishing up my first semester of nursing school! It’s been emotionally hard already but I’m currently studying for my finals exams and the big EXIT HESI!! 😅 I’m sure you know this but my tips would be to do practice questions over your concepts. That’s like the only way to learn how to master your topics and be able to answer questions on nursing exams. The rationales from practice questions are THE BEST! Also, I record lectures and listen and go back over my notes I wrote! Very helpful sometimes what the instructor says shows up on my test! Good luck you’ll do great in your upcoming semester! 👍

Wow, you are ME 😂 the organization and cleaning, yes girl! 🙌🏻 haha

You make me so excited/scared to start nursing school 😍

Just got accepted into nursing for the winter intake I'm so scared // excited!!!

I know this is a late comment, but Native's holiday scents, sugar cookie to be specific, SMELLS DELICIOUS!!

My orientation is tomorrow. I’m super nervous... did not expect myself to me this anxious. Wish me luck everyone, and if anyone is reading this who is also doubting their abilities just know that you’re not alone and we will succeed.

Omg thanks I'm gunna use the packing tape on the sticky notes thanks they always get all tattered etc this is such a cool idea

YOUR NOTES ARE SO PRETTY

That looks like my size dry erase board, 23x35 if u guys were wondering, walmart 20 buck, that's for the video, definitely checking out the etsy's shop

You’re notes are so nice and neat! Good luck with medsurg!

I just got accepted to Nursing school & am so excited to learn new study habits to help me succeed! 💕

Hey girl... and guys. I’m struggling here. My school has made everything 10x more complicated. We had a paper due this Sunday! Along with clincial Assignments that included 10 templates, 2 nursing diagnosis and a complete care plan, and guided reflection journal, and documentation. And then we have a EXAM this Monday on urinary, chronic illness, reproductive, and GI. IM DYING HERE. there’s no accommodation. I’m not sure if I’ll make it. I have many sleepless nights. I want to be an RN BUT this is so freaking hard! I feel like no one understands..... sorry guys I just wanted to vent. I had a mini panic attack and my face broke out. Idk how much I can take from this. 🥺🥺🥺

You are so refreshing! Good luck in med surg! 🤍

I have quite a few study tips that I’ve used from watching your type of video that you’re about to do study with me videos and I got a few tips from watching videos and I got a few tips from my old PSW teacher because I’m studying to become a personal support worker but I’m not doing that at the moment because of COVID-19 I was supposed to go to college for this year but that’s not happening because of COVID-19 so currently right now my PSw career is on hold at the moment

just ordered my native deodorant! so excited

am I the only one that watches Madi's videos because they are so therapeutic

Omg!! I do the same with books- post it’s! I’m a visual person- post it’s help a lot!

Simple nursing (youtube) is awesome. & Questions Questions Questions! (current med surf student) i used to read to the book twice and it was a waste of time. Do questions and make your own study guides. Best of luck 🤗

Finals week on Monday. Six exams in a 5 day period. You give me inspo to study!! I have been so unmotivated😭

Native has seasonal and holiday scents too and mini stocking stuffers

Thanks for sharing your code! I just ordered 3 and I know this is a great brand! I always wanted to try their brand but 12.00 for a stick of deodorant I thought was to much but yeah 3 for 25.00 is definitely a deal!

I start med surg may 13th! We can help each other. You will do fine Madi. you've got this 👍

Thank you soooo much your content was very helpful.

I love your handwriting!!!!

Thank you your share . And your writing so nice

Those tabs at the top of ur book is actually genius

omg the tape hack!

I'm obsessed with dosages

beautiful penmanship , very organized

I just graduated from high school 1 week ago and planned to be an RN, this is what I'm seeing😳😳

I should try cleaning for enjoyment too. Where there’s no deadlines or goals 🤔

I love your handwriting

I am finishing my 1st semester of nursing school💜💜

I just changed my major to nursing, I am transferring into a new school and still have some prerequisites to do but I apply for the nursing program in December/January! Can you do a video, if you do not already have one, on applying to your nursing program and any tips?? I am also starting a job soon as a caregiver and I am super nervous for it all!! Love your videos and tips!

You have such perfect penmanship!

Looks so intimidating

Biggest tip from me: practice questions, practice questions, practice questions! I make my own notes because that helps me to understand what I am learning. After that, I take practice questions from that subject, and if I don't understand all what is going on or miss questions, I go back over my notes because I didn't fully understand it the first time. Another tip, GO TO YOUR TEACHER! If your teachers give you the opportunity to see what you missed on a test, DO IT! Even if you didn't do bad, still do it. It helps BIG TIME on the final and going forward. Lastly, for subjects that are similar to one another, concept maps are your best friend. Instead of focusing on what is similar, focus on what is DIFFERENT! You've got this!

starting nursing school in jan and i'm very scared so here i am!!

You’re such an inspiration! I love you ❤️

Hey, so we are using the same books for nursing school. Having a tough time narrowing down need to know info. Currently discussing the concepts comfort, elimination, and fluid and electrolytes. Which study guide set you’d recommend? I saw the complete packet but I’d like to try the notes for these modules first for my test before purchasing the complete package. If that makes sense.

I love the NATIVE BODY WASH THE COCONUT OMG SMELLS SOOOOO GOOOD

I am about to start nursing school this January and I am a little nervous about the anatomy and physiology of it. I did pretty well in my pre-req classes, but it has been a while. Is this something that you studied before starting nursing school? What would you say are the things I should be the most worried about?

I’m an early college high school student and this year I’ll be graduating with a PCT certification, associates degree, and my high school diploma. I’ve been getting stressed because I’m terrified of what actual college will be like since all the ones I’ve taken are from my community college. So I was wondering if anyone had any tips on what to expect or what it’s like, because I’ll see videos like this and compare it to my 4 college course and get stressed. Love your videos and your handwriting is gorgeous!

Can u plz do more of these plz I love study with mes and seeing notes they are so satisfying for me

Starting nursing school in January. How exactly did you tab your books!? By chapter or!? I’m about to tab this weekend please answer lol I’m desperate

You should try Anki cards!! I like quizlet but Anki is so much better!! It helps me get through Microbiology :)

Where did you get your notebook? How do you know what to take notes on? I feel like I take notes and everything but never have the time to go back and study them. So I feel like I am learning nothing. I start nursing school in august.
