HOW I MAKE MY NURSING SCHOOL STUDY GUIDES & HOW I STUDY 

Sarah at Registered Nurse RN should be an honorary faculty at all nursing schools because she has been getting us through!!!!!

yess! Pretending to teach someone a topic is sooo helpful,, its honestly probably one of the best study methods out there!!

I just want you to know that this video actually made me cry (in a good way haha). I’m in my first semester of nursing school and I’ve been feeling so overwhelmed and hopeless - especially because I’m struggling on tests that most my classmates are getting A’s on. I know it sounds silly but hearing you hype yourself up for getting an 89% in pharm was so inspiring to me. I feel like even when I am doing well, I can never ever stop kicking myself. The other week I got a 92% on a test, which is phenomenal for me, but just because the class average was a 94%, I couldn’t enjoy it at all and just ended up thinking about how Im still behind my peers. I wish they would stop pushing the competitive atmosphere. There’s absolutely no reason to publish the exact number of people who got A’s, B’s and C’s or below. It’s so refreshing to see someone be proud of themselves for their own achievements and not worry about how they’re doing in comparison to anyone else. I wish I could say I’m like that haha, but truthfully it’s something I really struggle with and it’s affecting my mental health at this point. I guess what I’m trying to say is thank you for posting this. It really spoke to me and a lot of these tips were also super helpful!!

I literally started studying how you did and I just got a 94 on my first medsurg 2 exam! I mean, I did prepu too. This helped so much! Thank you for the videos!!

You’re literally a ray of sunshine. Thank you for your positivity and all your tips💜

I love typing my notes, then going back on my tablet to highlight and write on it before I print it out. I love online text books because you can use the screenshot tool to take a picture from the book onto your notes.

I remember watching you before knowing I was accepted into nursing school, I found you through one of your nursing school hauls and have been following you ever since. I am now starting block 3 of nursing school in August and I it's amazing to see you going into your last block! Congratulations and it's crazy how times flies! God has great plans for you! Thank you for posting these videos that make us nursing students feel less alone through this all! You are a blessing to all!

Looking up how to make a study guide and only getting nursing school content. I feel like nursing schools have a niche subject domination. They take the cake on study guides.

I just started studying this way in the spring semester for my A&P class and it helped so much. It cuts down on so much time, definitely better that hand writing notes!!

you are such a huge help for so many people & motivating! i love your videos 💛

I’ve always watched your videos, but I’ve never felt compelled to comment until this video! You are SO SO motivating and uplifting and we need more people like you!

You’re too great ! And I never thought of having my notes/study guide on my phone wow !!!

AHHHH! I’m so excited for you! I can’t believe you are almost done!! 🥳🥳 Thanks to you and Ashley Taylor, I’m going to apply for nursing school in the fall!

I love your videos, I felt like you just started school and now you're almost done. 👏 so excited for your future

Omg!! Congrats!!. I’ve been watching your videos since I started nursing school, and I just graduated from my bsn program last week 🥰 Can’t wait to see the journey of your last semester ❤️

Queen of uploading

Thanks for helping out our fellow nurses! This is great! We watched RU-vid to help us through our degrees too! So helpful.

Madi, this is absolutely amazing that I started watching your channel a year ago when I decided to pursue in nursing and I literally am starting my pre nursing classes in a few weeks at the SAME SCHOOL! It is so funny to see your face on the billboards! lol

Your video is so so helpful. I’m going to college as a freshman for nursing and will be doing prerequisites and this is so great to know. You’re such a ray of sunshine!

I’m going to start my 3rd semester in august and I’m going to try your way of taking notes with your study guides! It looks so much better than printing out slides and trying to take notes next to the slides! Thanks for the inspiration!!

Your notes and mind maps look awesome! I'm studying business at the moment, but your methods are transferable. Thanks for sharing!

I am so beyond addicted to your way of studying, I have exams coming up soon, and can't wait to try these methods to help me study! please can you do like an updated morning/night routine? would love to see it!

Thank you so much for the study tips I've been feeling really discouraged I just failed my med surge 1 class by half of a point and was debating if nursing was for me. I was letting my fail determine what kind of person I was like I wasn't smart enough I can't do this. I recently decided to retake the class and was looking around for study tips to help me this time around. I found your video and it gave me so much determination to accomplish this semester!!

Amazing! Such an inspiration! ❤️

Thank you for showing! And also for tips on how you made your notes!

love your videos so much!

Thank you so much for sharing, you are an absolute blessing

Yay.. a new video for my almost new favorite nurse.. so inspiring.. so happy for you.. 💕💕

Thank you so much, Madison for making this video!! I am so encouraged by you and I am so excited to use your study method this fall. I just recently finished my first year of nursing school and I did not pass med surg 1. But you making this video makes me want to work even harder this fall. ;)

can’t believe you are graduating so soon!! been here since your pre-nursing journey ☺️

LOVE THIS VIDEO❤️❤️

I can relate to the lawnmower. Great video

Thank you for your helpful advices!

I’m going back into my 3rd semester this fall. (I failed medsurg 2 my first time) so I’m looking for better and different ways to study. Your video is literally the best one I’ve found so far. Thank you sooooo much ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Wish me luck

Thank you! I just got into nursing school. Love you Madi 💗

Thank you so much for the motivation!

nursing student as well and i love your channel

Hi Madi, im from philippines watching your videos that I inspiring me. Thank you for motivating us.🥰

Starting my 4th semester this fall also! I am trying to do practice questions on previous material a few times a week so content stays fresh so when i start studying for the NCLEX i dont have to go back and reteach myself a bunch of material :)

Hey Madi!! I love watching your videos and I'm actually a high school student but I love watching how you study and the notes you take and things like that because I'm trying to get better with note taking and studying and things related to learning. My question for you is how you do you get yourself to sit down and focus on studying or taking notes especially on things you don't really like? it it really hard for me just to sit down and really focus on what I need to learn. I also procrastinate a lot and will do a project 2 hours before it is do and I really need to stop letting myself get distracted but I'm just not sure how and I was hoping you could help me!!

I start clinicals in August, that printer trick for double sided is straight up genius. I have the same printer and felt like I was wasting so much paper with anatomy notes last semester

this is so helpful! Thank you so much this video might just save me from failing my class

Hey madi! I hope you see this.. I am in nursing school right now and having a hard time balancing out all the homework and study time. I feel like half the time I’m just completing homework because there’s so much. In another video or so, can you explain how you manage to balance out your homework time and study time? Also any tips for Dosage calc?? 💗💗💗

good job! i havnt been to college since 2007 but after working at the hospital for the past 3 years i wanted to go back to pursue nursing. I was worried i wouldnt do well enough in school but i went back in 2019 and just got accepted into my program with a 4.0! it starts fall 2021 im so nervous

Congratulations!!! Love your videos...

i wish i had time to do this..... this is awesome

This helped SO much!! thank you!!! do you usually print each set of notes as soon as you're finished typing them all out or do you wait until the end of the unit?

How long does it take you to make a single study guide for an exam. Because I feel like it takes a while and we don't usually get a lot of time to study for are exams? Your great 👍

Your notes are so pretty 😍 thank you for sharing this video. And the notes that you flipped through at the end, where those all for one semester, or your entire nursing program.??? That binder was THICK! Lol🧐🧐

I love how thorough you are with your study guide. Also, love your shirt. #90skid.

Still wondering were you get your Binders from ?! Love your work and videos! I am a nursing student too, first semester and I am gonna try out your way of studying for sure! 🙈🥰 have an awesome day! Be blessed💫

thank you so much for sharing this video!!!! how exactly do you do the different colors when it comes to typing?? i really want to try that out this semester.

Can you please make a video about how you do your French braids in your hair? Mines as long as yours and I need ways to get it out of the way. Thanks!! 💗

hi madiii!! I’m wondering if even though you did graduate if you could show how you studied and organized everything on your ipad and computer/if you use anything else?

Hello I love how you explain and gave example on how to study and take notes I thought i was doing it wrong with note but I feel better that Im doing it right from see how you do….. Pinterest and scan from your phone is a great idea thanks so much!! I do have one question is your dry erase board a medium or large I want to order one 😊

Can you do a video on OB? I'm about to start my OB/Pediatric rotation!

thank you so much

You are so lovely. Do you take any handwritten notes during lecture anymore or do you just type them on your study guides 📚 📖? Thanks again 🤍

Omg yesss 💕

Hiiiii YAYYY💕💕💕

Thank you ❤

I have two classes left before nursing school!! I was curious how many hours/ day or day / week are you working in the hospital for clinical? Congratulations 🎊!!!!!!

You are probably already graduated; however, you can turn any powerpoint into an outline directly through PowerPoint! :) This is a HUGEEE time saver!

What blush do you use! you look so cute!!! :)

Hi Madi! Please please reply I need your tips! I was wondering why you have some handwritten notes and some that are typed. Is there a way you study best? I am struggling to find my way to study. idk if I should type my notes or if I should handwrite them!!

new vid from my fav almost nurse

Hi! Question: do you make just the powerpoint notes before that lecture, then add what the teacher says?

When you take notes from RU-vid,do you type them yourself on your word documents? Wont that take alot of time?

Hey girly! How did you get through the endocrine system

Do you add the import stuff you’ve read for the class to your notes as well??

you’ll be in your last semester while I (hopefully) am starting my first semester omg

How do you print back to back notes? Do you keep your notes in one document or create a folder and put your lecture notes(doc that cover one topic each) in there

Do you mainly reread everything in one day, everyday? Or do you divide like 15 pages one day and read textbook? I always hear how there’s never enough time to study.

Question: If your class is in person did you just make your study guide before you went to class?

It’s honestly so helpful, but I have a question, when you don’t get access to the class power point like if you are in person and the teacher doesn’t share the power point, how do you manage to do your notes? 🥰☺️

I’m coming back to this video when I start nursing school. I’m a mom of 3 about to start my prereqs & I’m so nervous at the thought of juggling my family and school. Any nursing school moms and wives with advice? Thank you in advance!

This video is very helpful do you have any suggestions for how to study for Pharmacology in Nursing school?

What’s your biggest tip for medsurge to pass

Are you familiar with the HSRT exam? I have to take in order to get into the nursing program at my community college! I’m just wondering what exactly is on it!

Have you thought about doing like an Etsy store and selling your study guides

I think you are amazing. I'm in Pathophysiology, and I'm struggling to get organized. You have helped me so much.

Madi, are you saving your first semester notes for future references? If not, can I please have it. Please please. Thanks 🙏🏾

Hi! I was wondering, are you getting your associates degree in nursing? You mentioned you are in your fourth and last semester so that’s why I was wondering how it is only four semesters. Love your videos :)

How do you get your pictures to be like that without mess up up the bullet points

Do you work while going to school?

How long did you study for each exam?

I noticed the main thing ppl fail is medsurg 1 and a&p. I met a girl that failed ap 2 times and passed on the third

17:49

Hi I can’t find your Pinterest by name, could yo7 post the link? -TIA 🥰

Can I have the ppt

I would like to buy copy of your notes

Do you still work as an aide?

i am so so proud of you girl, you are doing AMAZING! also i sent you something to your po box ☺️🤍

Are you doing part time or full time school?
