Nursing school just takes a little bit
of planning, some time management
and a few study tips and strategies

2. Introduction
There’s no question that nursing school is
challenging. And when you are trying to
manage home and work responsibilities
on top of your nursing studies, the amount
of studying you need to do could seem
insurmountable.
The following tips can help.
The first step is to take a deep
breath. You can do this.

3. Follow the
nursing exam
study guide
One of the best ways to focus on your
nursing studies is to base your learning
around the NCLEX test.
Reviewing a study guide not only
reveals which subject areas the nursing
exam focuses on, but also how the test
presents questions.

4. You cannot cram a week’s worth of study into a few hours
on the weekend. Commit to spending a little time on your
nursing studies every day, even if you have to break it into
several smaller increments in order to get it in.
Study a little every day
Before you read a chapter, skim the material first. Look at
headings, subheadings and highlighted terms and review
the summaries and questions at the end of the chapter, to
determine which information is most important.
Skim-read first

5. It’s important to understand why
certain conditions occur and what is
happening physiologically in a patient.
However, the patient is not interested
in hearing facts – he or she just wants
to feel better. When you are studying
for the nursing exam, ask yourself,
“How will I help my patients with this
information?” You’ll be a better
nurse as well as a better student.
Think in terms
of action - not
just facts

6. Know your
learning style
Everyone learns differently: some need
to see information, some need to hear
it, while others learn in a kinesthetic
way. So in effect, everyone needs to
discover which study tips work best for
them. Know your own style and use it
to your advantage.

7. Nursing studies require a certain level of memorization.
Create flashcards or notes that will help you review those
facts when you are doing other things.
Create Flashcards
If you spend all of your time studying, you are just going to
get overwhelmed and probably not retain as much
information as you would hope. Be sure to take regular
breaks so you do not lose interest or enthusiasm.
Sometimes, just a short change of scenery can help
recharge your battery and improve retention.
Take proper study breaks
