Being a student nurse is no easy feat. Juggling classes, clinical placements, exams, and trying to maintain some semblance of a social life can be overwhelming. With a little organisation, you can navigate the chaotic world of nursing school with ease.
Colour Code Everything
Who says organisation has to be boring? Grab some colourful pens, highlighters, and sticky notes and colour code your notes, schedule, and study materials. Not only will it make things easier to find, but it'll also add a pop of colour to your otherwise dreary study sessions.
Make To-Do Lists Your Best Friend
When your brain feels like a scrambled egg from all the information you're trying to cram in, a to-do list can be a lifesaver. Write down everything you need to accomplish for the day and prioritise your tasks. Plus, nothing beats the satisfaction of crossing items off your list.
Our Daily Study Planner can help you with this which is available as part of our Study Templates Bundle.
Invest in a Good Planner
A planner is like a nurse's stethoscope - essential. Find a planner that works for you, whether it's digital or good old-fashioned paper. Use it to keep track of assignments, clinical placements, and important deadlines.
The Organised Nurse has you covered with our 2024 Student Nurse Planner. Containing everything you need to stay organised and up to date with your studies.
We have a printed version which is available in A4 or A5 or we have a digital download version.
Declutter Your Study Space
They say a cluttered space leads to a cluttered mind, and ain't nobody got time for that. Keep your study area clean and organised to help you focus better.
Take Breaks and Treat Yo' Self
Studying for hours on end without a break is a recipe for burnout. Remember to take regular breaks to recharge your brain. And don't forget to treat yourself once in a while - whether it's with a fancy coffee, a piece of chocolate, or a Netflix binge session. You deserve it!
So there you have it, with a little bit of organisation, you can conquer nursing school like a boss. Just remember to breathe, take it one day at a time, and don't forget to laugh at the occasional poop joke. You got this!
