Lets Reset Our Study Strategy

New Year Lets Reset

Lets Reset Our Study Strategy.

Tired of Studying content just to get to the exam and get the answer wrong. Even though you new the answer.

This Year we are Studying with Strategy so we understand and not memorize content.

Study with strategy where we are losing time trying to remember everything but rather the most important things

This year we are understanding the content that way no matter how the question is asked we will get the answer right.

So we will have a successful semester in nursing school.

The number way to stop getting answers wrong on exams is to study right.

1. Study by “Thinking Like A Nurse”
   1. When learning about a disease process or an abnormal lab or vital sign
   2. Ask
      1. How does the nurse know this is abnormal (Assessment Data)
         1. What will the patient say, what will she see
      2. Potential causes of disease/abnormal labs or vital signs

• What test will be ordered to confirm causes of disease or anormal lab/vital signs
  1. Patient teaching/nursing instructions in preparation for test

1. How would you know the patient’s disease is getting better
   1. Assessment findings

Follow this method when studying and you will be sure to get the answer right on exams. See you next week for tips on thriving in nursing school.
