Tips For Surviving Nursing School

By Hedrick Lepsch


Clara Barton, a pioneer in nursing as well as in women's rights, changed the world by undertaking the rewarding lifestyle nursing offers. Her efforts led to advancements in nursing as well as the foundation of The American Red Cross. Careers in the nursing field are among the most rewarding and admired. Sometimes, during the grueling process of nursing school, you lose sight of the honor associated with your future career. There is light at the end of the tunnel, although sometimes it might not feel like it. Below are some helpful tips to help you survive the nursing school gauntlet, get an RN and join the ranks of dignified nurses all over the world.

This is a tip that everybody knows, but few have the discipline to actually put it into practice. Learning the materials for your nursing exams becomes much easier if you dedicate time everyday towards reviewing what you have learned in classes. Cramming is not an effective way to study because of the way your memory converts short-term memories into long-term ones. Short-term memory becomes long-term memory through time.

Since graduation, his business boomed during the dot com explosion and progressed through entertainment and sports since them. He owns theaters, a film company (Magnolia Pictures) an HDTV company, a NBA team (Dallas Mavericks - how fitting), and has authored multiple books. He has donated to political campaigns (both democrats and republicans) and created a stimulus plan. And of course he is a "shark" investor on ABC's Shark Tank. His eclecticism is astonishing. He will do or be whatever he wants to be from event planning to new media marketing.

Needless to say, Mark Cuban gets around. It would seem that he isn't afraid of anything and that he will try anything that appeals to him. Such a personality naturally leads to another skill: getting into trouble. Mark has been charged with various things multiple times, many of which he was dismissed of, but many of which he was not. It just comes with the territory (and personality).

Take notes on everything. Writing down information is a helpful way of getting information to stick in your mind. Do not just write word for word what your instructors say. Write things in your own words in a way that you understand. Although it can be difficult to write legibly when the information is being presented very quickly, do your best to get your notes down in a readable and organized fashion. This will make it easier to re-read when you are studying for your exams.

When you get discouraged, remember the importance of what you are doing. This is not only a career or a way to earn a living; it is a way of life that is a critical part of society. Your studies and hard work will enable you to save lives in the future, so keep that in mind. Keep working hard and doing your best and eventually you will graduate and join the ranks of great nurses like Clara Barton and others who have changed the world through nursing.
