How To Be An Excellent Nursing Student

By Hedrick Lepsch


Back to school just got a lot more expensive. As a college student, you no longer just need a few notebooks and pencils. Now you have to pay for unreasonably expensive textbooks, a new (more sophisticated) wardrobe, pots and pans, rent, and what else? A laptop? A tablet? What expensive electronic device do you actually need for college? It's a very good question. The answer? Well, it depends...

When trying to decide if you need a tablet and what kind, there are a lot of things to consider. Here are a few questions to run by yourself to help you narrow down your options.

However, not just anyone can earn a nursing degree. Nursing students must be dedicated, hardworking, and determined to do well while they are in school. The rigors of schoolwork and academic life are often strenuous; here are some tips on how to weather them. One of the most important things you can do as a nursing student is to plan.

At the beginning of the semester, make a plan as to how you're going to study throughout the semester. Making a plan includes many steps. One of the steps could be reading the syllabi for each of your classes and making sure you fully understand all of the material that is written there. Writing down each of the due dates for your assignments and all of your test dates in a daily planner is also going to be very beneficial.

Of course some of the latest tablets are catching up on the freedom of creativity front using styluses that allow you to arrow, doodle, and draw however you please. Moral of the story - be true to what you prefer. Your schoolwork is most important and whichever tool will make you most effective is the one you should invest in.

This doesn't not mean enlist the help of family to complete one's own tasks, but rather to simply get everyone involved in learning what is being taught in one's courses. Another suggestion on how to get through a college education while being married and having kids is to learn how to say no.

Third, much of what you use your tablet for will be determined by the nature of your studies/major. Tablets are great for some disciplines, and not so necessary for others. Of course tablets can always be made useful, but fields that are more visual (art history, advertising, or certain medical specialties programs) would be greatly enhanced by tablets whereas fields like math or political science might not need the specific capabilities of tablets quite as much. So think, is my medical specialties degree or journalism degree going to require the benefits of tablet? If yes, go for it! If you're unsure, wait a little bit and see how things pan out.

This brings us to the last tip. If you are unsure of what you need, start out with the cheap pen and paper method and later invest in the more expensive tablet once you know what your needs are really like. Take a semester and consider how and when you would want or need a tablet in each of your classes. This will help you identify specific features you want/need, which will help you choose between the many tablets out there.

If you organize your notes in this way, you will be able to find things more easily when you go back to look at your notes later. If you want to become a top nursing student and graduate at the top of your class, follow these tips and then see the results.
