Happy new year friends! Today's video is for all my viewers who are just starting nursing school (or currently in nursing school or even school in general) and were wanting tips on how I take notes! I’m taking yall along my note-taking routine before, during, and after lectures. I hope yall enjoy this video and can hopefully incorporate some tips into your routine!
As my professors’ PowerPoints are confidential, I created the demo PowerPoint for the purpose of this video.
The med-surg book I'm using is: Medical-Surgical Nursing: Concepts for Interprofessional Collaborative Care (9th ed.) by Donna D. Ignatavicius.
Thank you for supporting my channel. Wishing you all well in this new year! Stay safe and warm :)
xoxo,
steph

As a nursing student, I watched tons of RU-vid videos about note taking from iPad to hand writing. I also tried to use Word but, your note-taking way is the least time consuming and looks very organized. I will do your way. Thank you for uploading!

@BG-mp7hh Год назад

Hello, thank you so much for this video. I think a lot of your study habits may be very similar to mine so I am going to try these out. I have trouble retaining the information from the textbook as I have trouble determining which are the important sentences to take away. Any tips for when you read your textbook and transfer those notes to your paper in the L column or sticky notes, how do you determine what is the information that goes there? Thank you.

@camrynj6377 3 года назад

This method is actually kind of unique in its own way! I’m gonna try it tomorrow and will let you know how I like it!! Update: So it does take some time at least for me due to having around 30-60 at most slides depending on the class + formatting the bullets the way I want it (45 min- 1 hour) However once I’m done it definitely is so much easier to use for annotation of notes than looking at the slides! I personally use GoodNotes 5 rather than printing it out since I don’t have access to a printer all the time unless I’m at my university

Hey, when taking notes from the book do you read the whole chapter, or try to focus primarily on what is on the lecture notes

@stephxoxo 3 года назад

I focus mainly on the lecture notes! My prof likes to add in "see pg." or "see chart/table" so I definitely want to take a look at those. If your professor's lecture notes are pretty sparse, then I would go ahead and read the whole chapter! :)

Hi , I really love your videos and a new subscriber 🥰 I was wondering , when you study, how many hours a day or how much time do you make to study and remain very organize? I am preparing myself when i start nursing school this month.

@stephxoxo 3 года назад

Hiya welcome! 😊 It varies depending on the day! If I have an entire day free, then I can study for about 10 hours (with breaks of course). I prefer waking up early to study rather than staying up late. Once it hits ~7pm my brain starts shutting down 😂 typically I leave 2 days to gather notes from the textbook and 2 days to review all material!
