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
I haven't gotten in yet applying soon but I'm way too scared to do that 😅😂 from day one I'm putting in hours of studying I'm going for speed and endurance lol
Mckenzie C you’re so right about maintaining a grade rather than digging yourself out of it. Being consistent from the start and establishing a method of studying and a routine is so important!!
THIS. THIS IS WHAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO HEAR. Not in nursing school yet, but from my previous degree boy oh boy did I underestimate how hard it is to correct a bad grade or two once you have them - especially if you need a certain GPA for grad schools!
100% this! I started studying weeks before the first exam. I was able to keep my grades up throughout the whole course. Wasn't easy because it takes so much time and sometimes it feels like a marathon, but so worth it.
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!)
@@EmelynJ A lot of programs use ATI books and programs for their courses. If yours does, definitely take advantage of them, they're awesome resources!!
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 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 love this tip. I had to take the HESI in order to get into my Nursing program. I hadn’t taken a Physiology course yet but it was a big portion on the test, so I watched all the crash courses covering Physiology and ended up getting the highest score out of everyone who took the exam. I recommend crash course 100%.
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 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.
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!
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.
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!
Cindy Middleton where can I take the 2 year BSN I have a school in my area where I could obtain my Associates in RN in a year but if Could get my BSN in 2 years I’ll rather do that
@@lovelycii5501 It just depends on the schools in your area and the prerequisites you've obtained. I live in Kansas City so there are plenty of options here. I went to a community college and I had credits for an associates but my counselor informed me I had more than enough for a Bachelor's. Since I was already that close I just decided to go for that. I go to Avila university for my 2 year BSN. If I had decided on UMKC it would have been a 3 year program. There is also KU here and that's a 2 year BSN program. I only applied to one school (what a gamble lol) but I got in! Hopefully everything works out for you! 😁
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.

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 ❤️
Hey girl, thank you so much for the tips. I was doing something similar and i was wondering if anyone had tried the method you talked about and it turns out to be a yes!! i was doing the same thing for the first semester of nursing school and i passed it with a B. The only reason i ended up getting a B because i had to work nights and i was tired as hell. Second semester i decided to change my study method and ended failing.
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 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!
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
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
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 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
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!
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
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
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 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💞
madi's nursing journey Yes boo! It’s called Med-Surg Success Third edition by FA Davis! Here’s the link💞Med-Surg Success: A Q&A Review Applying Critical Thinking to Test Taking (Davis's Q&A Success) www.amazon.com/dp/0803644027/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ct1OEbQB51MKS
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.
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. 💓
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!!!
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 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! 👍
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
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!
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. ☺️
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 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!!
Also the way I study is a I make flashcards and then when I go over them I use the white board and write out everything that I think is on the back out as i go through them over and over again, plus if im on the go then I can just bring them with me and read over them. I find that to be so super helpful.
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 UA-cam 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!!
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. 🥺🥺🥺
Tackle one thing at a time, breathe and take breaks. I completely understand where your coming from and I still have those days. Just continue to think about the end goal because the sleepless nights, countless hours studying, all the clinicals, crying, worrying, it will all be worth it in the end! & ps: you want to be an RN- You will be an RN!
I do feel you... nursing school test you emotionally and mentally in so many ways. Always think positive; speak positive, and create the outcome you want. You will get through I have had many breakdowns already. Finishing up my first semester 👏. You will do great!
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.
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 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
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 🤗
I was going to start school again this summer but since I am in a location that COVID-19 is insane (New Jersey) I may have to be behind another year. trying to stay positive but its very difficult
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!
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.
@@madisnursingjourney THE BODY WASH is amazing and I have washed my hair with it too! After the gym, and it has cleared us some skin rashes too, something about chemicals ya know?
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 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!
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?
Your videos have helped me( I am not a medical student, actually going for a business degree)however Madi I wanted to ask do you write over the lecture notes the teacher gives or when the teacher gives you lecture notes do you just add to those notes or are those lecture notes usually on the test so is there no need to read the textbook or add to the lecture notes by what you read in the chapter? I hope one of these scenarios makes sense.
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

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 ❤️
Hey girl, thank you so much for the tips. I was doing something similar and i was wondering if anyone had tried the method you talked about and it turns out to be a yes!! i was doing the same thing for the first semester of nursing school and i passed it with a B. The only reason i ended up getting a B because i had to work nights and i was tired as hell. Second semester i decided to change my study method and ended failing.
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 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 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
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
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
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 always told my handwriting is neat....but GOSH your handwriting is SUPER neat! :)
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 ♡.

you're so sweet I love you Melanie
madi's nursing journey I love you too
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!
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
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
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
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!

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💞
Omg I will check it out! Is that the name of the book?!💗
madi's nursing journey Yes boo! It’s called Med-Surg Success Third edition by FA Davis! Here’s the link💞Med-Surg Success: A Q&A Review Applying Critical Thinking to Test Taking (Davis's Q&A Success) www.amazon.com/dp/0803644027/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ct1OEbQB51MKS
I LOVE the way you labeled your books…. I need to do this to my books
Oh my goodness, your handwriting is so good. I’m starting medical assisting classes soon and I wanna take good notes lol
I just got accepted to Nursing school & am so excited to learn new study habits to help me succeed! 💕
Ashley Cloud congrats!! It’s so exciting to get that acceptance letter. 😄
TheSunnyEdge it sure was! My husband, friends, and family were so excited!
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.
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. 💓
Omg thank you you’re so sweet I love 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!!!
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 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! 👍

Amazing thank you im about to start nursing school in a month and this really helped
What a queen I start my first semester of RN this Tuesday.

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
thank you for your tips incoming 2nd yr here!! these things helps me to study so much🥰💖
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.
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!
Omg yay💗
I did but it came out to be wrong.idk.
I start nursing school this fall and you are one of my fav UA-camrs to watch to give me motivation and get me excited! Thank you 💕💕😊
is it hard?
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. ☺️
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!!
Omg thank you!! And good luck finishing up 💗💗💗💗
starting nursing school in jan and i'm very scared so here i am!!

Thank you very much hope you can help more be successful in your NCLEX exams. You have the key to this exam God bless you🙏🏾. Here is her contact +1 520-337-5952 Message her on WhatsApp to know more
Me too girl, my classes are going to start on Jan 11, I am nervous 😬
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!!
Also the way I study is a I make flashcards and then when I go over them I use the white board and write out everything that I think is on the back out as i go through them over and over again, plus if im on the go then I can just bring them with me and read over them. I find that to be so super helpful.
I know this is a late comment, but Native's holiday scents, sugar cookie to be specific, SMELLS DELICIOUS!!
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 UA-cam 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!!
I am finishing my 1st semester of nursing school💜💜
Omg congrats 💗🥳

We are concept based as well! Not a lot of programs are concept based yet!!
What’s the difference between concept based and others?
Whitney Brown-McVey it’s just a different curriculum and a different way of learning! I like it!
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. 🥺🥺🥺
Alexis Perez YOU CAN DO IT💕 school won’t last forever! You’ll be Alexis Perez, RN soon!
Tackle one thing at a time, breathe and take breaks. I completely understand where your coming from and I still have those days. Just continue to think about the end goal because the sleepless nights, countless hours studying, all the clinicals, crying, worrying, it will all be worth it in the end! & ps: you want to be an RN- You will be an RN!
I do feel you... nursing school test you emotionally and mentally in so many ways. Always think positive; speak positive, and create the outcome you want. You will get through I have had many breakdowns already. Finishing up my first semester 👏. You will do great!
THANK U. I PASSED NUR 150 ((:
Alexis Perez awesome 👏 I just finished and passed my 1st semester exit HESI!
ending my 2nd semester of 4 of nursing school in a few weeks! love your videos!!

Aw thank you so much! And yes we got this girl good luck 💗💗💗
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
I just graduated from high school 1 week ago and planned to be an RN, this is what I'm seeing😳😳
Native has seasonal and holiday scents too and mini stocking stuffers
I love your handwriting
I should try cleaning for enjoyment too. Where there’s no deadlines or goals 🤔
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 🤗
I'm obsessed with dosages
You make me so excited/scared to start nursing school 😍
Finals week on Monday. Six exams in a 5 day period. You give me inspo to study!! I have been so unmotivated😭

I love how you write your notes, what pens and highlighters do you use?
I use the papermate ink joy gel pens and the zebra mildliners highlighters 💗
Where did you get your necklace I love the chain?
I was going to start school again this summer but since I am in a location that COVID-19 is insane (New Jersey) I may have to be behind another year. trying to stay positive but its very difficult
Paulina Moroz yes I’m live in south Jersey
Can you do an updated study routine?
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
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!

Registered nurse rn helped me pass my osce last week 😂 except she missed assessing the thyroid
omg yay! And what nooo😂😂
madi's nursing journey it was ok, I noticed before I took my osce so I didn’t miss it 😂😂
You are so refreshing! Good luck in med surg! 🤍
Thank you sooo much 💗🤩
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.
I love the NATIVE BODY WASH THE COCONUT OMG SMELLS SOOOOO GOOOD
Omg I need to try the body wash omg!!!
@@madisnursingjourney THE BODY WASH is amazing and I have washed my hair with it too! After the gym, and it has cleared us some skin rashes too, something about chemicals ya know?
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 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!
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?
You’re notes are so nice and neat! Good luck with medsurg!
Thank you so so much 💗💗💗
Thank you soooo much your content was very helpful.
Your videos have helped me( I am not a medical student, actually going for a business degree)however Madi I wanted to ask do you write over the lecture notes the teacher gives or when the teacher gives you lecture notes do you just add to those notes or are those lecture notes usually on the test so is there no need to read the textbook or add to the lecture notes by what you read in the chapter? I hope one of these scenarios makes sense.
