Taking notes is such a crucial part of both Nursing and Nurse Practitioner school! In this video I will share my tips for taking effective and efficient notes taken from your assigned nursing school/NP school readings as well as your in person lectures. I’ll share all that I have learned through 2 rounds of nursing school (crazy!). I have found that in Nurse Practitioner school especially, there was SO much reading, so finding a good strategy that works for you is key! I will also give you a few pointers on how to stay interested and engaged in your note taking, which will help you to return to your notes for reflection and studying later on down the line.

What is your favorite way to take notes??

@natsooben6634 6 лет назад

Nurse Liz i just receive the ipad 12.9 yesterday.. its really good for note taking with its big screen

@NurseLiz 6 лет назад

Nat Sooben awesome! Thanks for the update!

@osmanlake9815 6 лет назад

Blank computer paper, handwritten

@NurseLiz 6 лет назад

Osman Lake old school! Love it 👌🏻

@JohnR1184 5 лет назад

Getting my IPAD next week. 1st semester is exactly a month away!

@MeMe-qe2ff 6 лет назад

No way. I would never split my reading and note taking with someone else. Too neurotic and type A.

@NurseLiz 6 лет назад

Me Me I totally get that! I took me awhile to get to the point where I was overwhelmed enough to split it up. And it’s definitely not for everybody!

@urbanicaj7815 2 года назад

I honest to god would not do this if it weren’t for the fact that there’s a good chance I probably won’t complete everything by myself due to multiple chapters on a learning guide

@christinabeahan8596 5 лет назад

I just found your channel and I love it so much! I am a kinesthetic learner and slightly auditory. Before class I watch a RU-vid video on the topic. So in class I have a notebook for my “crappy lecture notes” where I just scribble key words or things that jump out and I feel are important (note- I don’t write a ton of info... just a header or topic). Then later I use that to comb through my textbook and learn more/ review material. I use class time to listen and comprehend and try to understand the concept. Which in turn makes reading the text book MUCH easier. It works for me 😊

@NurseLiz 5 лет назад

That sounds like such an awesome approach!! I wish I had implemented something like that

@allisongarza1196 4 года назад

I remember things much easier by writing, but I write so slow so lectures kill me! I can type at the speed of light, but I tend to never look back at my typed notes and don't retain the information as well in comparison to writing my notes down...

@deadlydairy7634 3 года назад

ever thought about audio recording your classes? I think you have to get the professor's permission or it's illegal in some places, but others it doesn't matter

@braddocktomax428 3 года назад

I love taking notes! It would be hard for me to share notes. However, I’m all about dividing and conquering. I’m open minded to it, but I’d prefer notes on my own 👍and I’m somewhat of a control freak 😅😅

@hannahvasquez5989 3 года назад

@braddocktoMax Same! During the orientation, we had to split up the handbook between a group to give a presentation over the information and it was stressing me out. I just wanted to do it myself 😅

@doulacandice 4 года назад

Absolutely a writer.. I write all the things, all the time. I also record lectures and go back and add in stuff later as a rewrite my notes.

@NurseLiz 4 года назад

Such a good idea!

@thelilbrownies 4 года назад

I would definitely do that, Liz. That's a great strategy. I would most rewrite their notes to help me understand it. I have, so far, taken classes solely online though so it is hard to meet anyone I would trust.

@Theonigir8 5 лет назад

Hey Liz, just wanna say that watching ur videos has boost confidence for me as Im starting nursing school in singapore next week alr!! Super nervous and clueless but ur vids rly helped calmed my nerves down..

@NurseLiz 5 лет назад

I’m so glad they’ve been helpful! You got this!

@deadlydairy7634 3 года назад

it's been over a year, how has the nursing been going?! :D

@andrean3771 5 лет назад

Just now watching this. Yes! Splitting up reading and notes is the only way I got through this past semester. My friend and I would alternate units. That and printing powerpoints to take notes on while watching lecture. That way you can highlight what your instructor hints that you need to memorize. SAVE EVERYTHING! Then you have a study guide for finals :)

@NurseLiz 5 лет назад

awesome tips! thank you!

@andrean3771 5 лет назад

@@NurseLiz thanks! Do you have a video on what you recommend buying to study for nclex? If not I would love suggestions!

@NurseLiz 5 лет назад

I don't because I feel like I took it so long ago its not applicable haha. I did a saunders book and just worked through it. If I were taking it today I'd probably use Uworld.

@tamarawatson4066 4 года назад

I type an outline as I read the textbook (definitely needed in my program!), then i print it out and highlight with a color coordinated system like you described. For concepts I have a hard time with I make a separate concept map by hand on computer paper!

@ssetj2 4 года назад

nope. I wouldn't. life experience has taught me not to trust others. and people will sabotage you in the process. I would rather take my own and know that I passed/failed on my own accords

@katet5664 Год назад

I am a person that has to take my own notes. Why well while I write my note I will think of little things to help me remember and write that off to the side. Yes I am a person that uses paper and pen lol. But I really love these tips and will be applying them when I start my nursing classes in the Fall! 😊

@lakshithasivanandan7289 6 лет назад

Soooo I'm literally saving to watch this video video till the end of August before all the overwhelming feels starts! :)

@NurseLiz 6 лет назад

RNByTheBay that sounds like an excellent plan. Your brain needs a mellow summer! Are you doing anything fun?

@Livontheg0 4 года назад

Nurse Liz, I have worked in patient care for years but am new to nursing and just got accepted into an accelerated, non-nursing, direct entry APRN program to become a psychiatric nurse practitioner. Your videos serve as a helpful, realistic guide, calmed my nerves, and reconfirmed that I already have many of the tools I’ll need to excel! Thank you

@NurseLiz 4 года назад

I’m so glad they’ve been helpful! Congrats on your acceptance!

@tiaw.9467 5 лет назад

Sometimes you might get something that you missed from someone else, but I wouldn’t depend on it. And highlighting is great too.

@NurseLiz 5 лет назад

True!!

@NurseLiz 5 лет назад

Awesome!

@Sam_Hedgehog 3 года назад

I do too, But I'm 14 instead!

@dobbypire 6 лет назад

Despite technology I still prefer writing notes by hand-I simply learn the information better when I handwrite...however the school I am applying to is mostly online (well the lectures are anyway, everything else will be at the hospital and tests are taken in person) so I feel like that will be great because I will be able to rewatch lectures as often as I need. I am also thinking of getting an iPad because that will make everything easier :)

@NurseLiz 6 лет назад

There is definitely such a neat aspect of handwriting notes, I totally feel you! I like both :)

@WassupKeyy_ 4 года назад

Favorite way to take notes: Open PowerPoint for lecture, highlight/star important stuff that the teacher says, & write in the comment box on each slide. Afterwards create a word document and put all the main points and important stuff from that lecture

@WassupKeyy_ 4 года назад

Btw, I wouldn’t split my reading/note taking with classmates lol

@WassupKeyy_ 4 года назад

After I make the word document I print it out and HIGHLIGHT also!! Lol

@NurseLiz 4 года назад

That sounds so thorough! love it!

I’m starting nursing school January 2023 - I would fear that the other person wouldn’t be happy with my notes!

@BUNNY-vf7cl 3 года назад

Don’t feel pressured to write cute notes. It’s not for everyone, I used to do that a lot and find that I spend too much time on small details and 50% of the note taking time became arts and crafts.

@mehkellah 2 года назад

You are amazing and give me hope that I can do this! THanks!!

@amirreza0121 Год назад

Thank you for the video I don't have enough time to take a note and when I use highliter to mention points, I think it's not effective. So what is your opinion for me?

@lularoecarissaclarke3474 4 года назад

Thank you so much for this video! For the total note-taking process, are you saying to, before the lecture, skim the reading for the objectives and take notes on those objectives. Then go to the lecture and take notes directly onto the printed off powerpoint slides? So your notebook has two sets of notes, the objective notes from the textbook and the powerpoint slides with notes, on the same chapter? Am I getting this right?

@iannicollette 2 года назад

I absolutely will split my notes. Having a baby and so much to do is so hard. I need to study smart.

@Love_britbrit 4 года назад

Yes, I would split of my note taking. Great Video!

@NurseLiz 4 года назад

Glad it was helpful!

@argeliaarchuletta712 6 лет назад

Did you buy the books or used ebooks? Amazing video and study tips! I am applying them today! I was taking notes on paper but you are right I never went back to review. I am going to try the Evernote app. Thank You!

@NurseLiz 6 лет назад

Argelia Archuletta I’m so glad it was helpful! I bought the books because I didn’t have a tablet until my last semester of grad school 🤦🏻‍♀️. But I think I probably would have done an ebook if I had one sooner. They are such huge books! Makes it hard to take them anywhere. One other thing I forgot to mention about Evernote that I liked was you can do the search function and find any topic you wrote notes on, in case you just want to do a quick search on one thing. What are you studying?

@argeliaarchuletta712 6 лет назад

Oh, that's awesome! I started using tonight. I am on my 3rd class EBP & Research. It's my 1st week and yes there are like 8 chapters to read for this week plus articles. I've been a nurse for 20 yrs and I always procrastinated to start NP school because I am not the best at writing papers. My primary language is Spanish so I struggle to write "Scholarly" Papers. I am determined though! :) I think i am going to buy ebooks until I get to my 2nd year and buy those books because I plan to keep those. I want to thank you for taking the time to do your videos you are a great inspiration! BTW your baby is adorable! Thank you!

@NurseLiz 6 лет назад

Aww thanks! And oh gosh, EBP and research nearly killed me. Not the most interesting months of my life haha.I HATE writing papers. I am so seriously impressed though with your skills! I am not great with papers and English IS my first language. So to have the ability to write a paper in your second language astounds me! Go you!! You are doing amazing things!

@NurseLiz 6 лет назад

And that’s a great idea with the ebooks. Or even rent them digitally when you can. I don’t know about you but I’m never going back to read statistics 😆. But I love having my other core subject matter books available

@quiannareedy1493 4 года назад

@lorenengland6579 3 года назад

Nurse Liz, you mentioned splitting up assigned reading and note taking. Is this something that should be pre-approved by faculty? I heard undergrad programs discourage grouping and cliques but idk why. Thanks!

@Gtxsolutionsbiz 6 лет назад

I like to take notes on one note or notability and then handwrite on my ipad after typing them and annotate my notes.

@NurseLiz 6 лет назад

Love that!

@Nursetee15 5 лет назад

I use to do that but when I counted on the other person portion it didn’t work out. I ended up working on my own study guide.

@NurseLiz 5 лет назад

bummer that it didnt work out! I'm sure you are learning a TON doing it all on your own, even if it takes forever.

@vbdancer101 6 лет назад

If you print the lecture notes did you write all of what the professor says on the same page, or did you also have a note nook to write there too?

@NurseLiz 6 лет назад

If there was a powerpoint to print, I would print it before class, and write ON the powerpoint. That way all my notes were together. I would usually print 2 powerpoint slides to a page that way if there were small details I wouldnt miss them. And I usually wrote the notes the professor provided in a different color, that way I knew that it was from lecture, not something I found in a book.

You could re write them

@paigesanders7311 4 года назад

In nursing school I was not able to split up my readings. I always felt like something important would be missed and then ultimately that was my responsibility. I ended up just using the objectives to read the important information throughout the chapters.

@markw.1618 6 лет назад

Also, Liz, I'm an introverted auditory learner like you, and I love to record and replay lectures in order to reinforce lecture topics. Thank you so much for all you do with tips for studying in nursing school, because that's certainly where I'm hoping to go after I complete my pre-requisite courses.

@NurseLiz 6 лет назад

That is such a good method! Then you can listen to them whenever. I've found I learn so much from passive listening. Thanks for following along :)

@cama5259 4 года назад

You are the mentor I need in my life- You are so through and well rounded! On my way thru all of your videos one day at time. I spend my entire undergrad without the ability of taking such great notes on my ipad, so I have to learn how to do all of this stuff all over again. So, what better than to learn from Nurse Liz, the first and correct way. However, I need an iPen, and the Notability app. I only have an Ipad 9.7, do you think an Ipad pro makes a difference in these applications? BTW love the videos and I can see you in the future growing even more and becoming a professor one day :) You have it in you.

@NurseLiz 4 года назад

I dont think you need an ipad pro! When i got mine the pro was the only one that had the apple pencil capability, but now I think they all do! Thank you for the encouragement!

@Josey168 3 года назад

I wouldn’t split the reading with someone else because I’m the type of person who won’t gain anything from someone else’s notes. If I don’t go over the material myself, I don’t retain it and feel like I’m totally lost!

@sharabaythavong8850 4 года назад

OOO I'd only split it w/ someone Id known for a while and was sure they were a good student...like someone's notes I admired from afar. BUT - definitely never a random new"friend" bc I'd be SOOO upset if it caused me to do poorly on an exam.

@mikaelakellogg 6 лет назад

Could you do a what’s in my clinical bag or work bag (whether it’s for RN or NP school?!) I’m always so curious to what students ACTUALLY bring to clinical / work

@NurseLiz 6 лет назад

Mikaela Kellogg for sure!! That’s a fun idea. Thanks!

@margaritaalmazan444 5 лет назад

I just found your channel and I'm absolutely LOVING it! I'm hopefully starting the Nursing Program in the Fall of this year. I already took my pre-requisite classes and for the classes I usually record my teacher on my phone, and then go home and re-listen to lecture while typing notes on the computer and adding my own diagrams from google to help me understand. It did take a longer time because i'd re-listen to the whole lecture and then study my own notes after, but it was a great method to learn by re-reading my own diagrams and notes and also listening to my teacher's voice

@NurseLiz 5 лет назад

That sounds super effective!

@karacromwell2951 4 года назад

I like to take hand notes in class and then type them over into my good notes. This gives me my second review. Then I review my digital notes from there repeatedly.

@sheripetersen5936 5 лет назад

1. I'm a flashcard/notecard taker. I also have a long commute to school, so I make a notecard recording of my voice so I can study in the car. For example, I would record myself saying "list 3 antihypertensives" then pause (This is where I would answer myself in real time), and then answer the question on my recording. Such a time saver so I don't feel I'm wasting time on my commute. This is also an excellent way to learn those few concepts I've been struggling with on test day. 2. I am a type A, but after I get to know my classmates, I would consider splitting up the note taking. I would preface it by saying, "Let's try it once and see if it's something that will work." Yes, I would check their work. And, yes, if their work isn't helpful to me I would need to be assertive and tell them it's not working (which would be difficult for me to to).

@NurseLiz 5 лет назад

Love that idea about studying in the car and recording yourself!

@kristinedragu9808 5 лет назад

I would only split my note taking with one other person and that’s because she’s just as neurotic as I am 😂 loved this video Liz! You’re the best!

@LauraAshleyCooper 4 года назад

You are always so positive and so uplifting, I really appreciate your videos so much! Just started nursing school (back for a second degree at age 30), and let me tell you going back as an adult is a different ball game. Especially now with so much distance learning, I’m having to completely reconfigure and change the way I learn and take notes. It has been stressful to say the least. This video was extremely helpful and your positive energy has me going to bed on a lighter note (no pun intended). So thank you!

@NurseLiz 4 года назад

I can imagine it would be a little crazy right now! I'm so sorry it's been stressful, but I'm glad you found this helpful! Pun may not have been intended, but I love it anyway! 😁😂

@sarahgiggles9444 6 лет назад

These were so helpful. I got my degree and planned on med school, but life got in the way for a few years. Now I'm planning to go back and get an accelerated BSN next year - just taking some time to collect some savings first and prepare in every way possible. Your videos have been so excellent! The idea of relying on someone else's notes terrifies me, but I feel like I could accept it if I absolutely knew they were as focused and driven as I am. I'd definitely be tempted to at least skim the material myself, though. How would you go about finding people to take reliable notes? Good friends and good note takers are not necessarily the same ;)

@NurseLiz 6 лет назад

So true about good note takers not necessarily being your friends! I actually went with my lab partners that seemed serious about school but also had crazy lives haha. That way I knew we all needed each other equally, and were serious about our education. I think ABSN programs are easier because most people are pretty serious about their education or they wouldnt be there, same with grad school. So glad the video was helpful! Thanks for watching and best of luck with your program!

@ebonymeadows4234 6 лет назад

My favorite way to take notes in on the iPad with the pencil. Just got it and boy has it been life changing! I’m a visual learner and it’s nice to have my notes all in one place and not have to carried my colored pens everywhere lol

@NurseLiz 6 лет назад

Isn’t it awesome?? I also used to carry around a small tote of highlighters and pens 😂

@kimberlymccalpine744 6 лет назад

Awesome tips, very helpful and will implement in the remainder of my studies. I like to write my notes and use color pens and markers. It really makes a difference in breaking up the material. Also I rather write my notes than to share in taking notes, as I write them in a format I can understand. Thank you Nurse Liz for all of your tips!

@NurseLiz 6 лет назад

BossBabeInScrubs_Miss Kim yes to color! So helpful! And I totally get the needing to take your own notes, especially if you are going to get more out of them!

@valentinamiller2464 5 лет назад

I haven't been in school since bsn 7 years ago. I used to also print out PowerPoint and take notes on it. I'm thinking now I will give iPad a try. Trying to get prepared for midwifery school in January. Thanks for this. When Avery cried I had to check my monitor bc I was doing the dishes and while my youngest sleeps. I thought it was mine and then you said Avery didn't wanna nap 🤣

@NurseLiz 5 лет назад

I do that all the time when watching other peoples videos! Best of luck in school! I LOVED my midwife ❤️

@DanieG91 5 лет назад

During lecture, I type up my notes on the ppt comments because if I write them down in class while rushing to copy everything then I’ll overthink my handwriting. Which will lead me to want to write it over and waste time being annoying lol. SO in class I take notes on my laptop, at home I write them down in peace 😊. Type A much? Yeah🙁.

@NurseLiz 5 лет назад

At least you get to go over it a few times 😂

@veronicawo3033 3 года назад

Me too.

@whitneyroberts294 4 года назад

Watching your videos has helped me feel better about not reading my chapters. I am a kinesthetic learner, and reading DOES NOTHING for me!! I do better when I write my own notes from the powerpoints or video lectures. I am too anxiety-ridden to allow someone else to make my notes! LOL

@vegone8894 2 месяца назад

I'm having a hard time because my writing is horrible. But I do find that I like writing better then using tablets. Bleh.

@Dbf1339 5 лет назад

I'd probably be willing to split up notes with others if they seemed to Excel in the class and had good notes but not just anyone

@NurseLiz 5 лет назад

Oh for sure not just anyone. That would be frightening haha

@sezeef 4 года назад

I need to learn taking notes. Im slow reader and those readers are MASSIVE!

@tgzmrhat 3 года назад

I would split it up but most of the time in online classes you don't get to know people well or even get a chance to speak to them outside of the weekly posting boards and responses. I could ask in the beginning but then does the teacher allow it and can you trust the people you don't know to do it well for you. I am right now really torn if I want to do the program at all I am 52 this year and will be 54 almost 55 when done then the boards again ugh this is a heavy choice.

@bountahospinalawson6107 6 лет назад

@NurseLiz 6 лет назад

Yeah I bet! I liked ebooks when they were on a tablet, but on a computer they were really weird for me

@joshuayancey1656 2 года назад

I wouldn’t split up my reading with someone else unless we are studying together in a face to face setting.

@gisellealicea9920 4 года назад

Hi Liz first of all I want you to know that I really appreciate your videos they are very helpful I am also wanting to go to nursing school and become a pediatric cardiac nurse. Right now I have CNA and my phlebotomy license. I was thinking about taking an EMT course do you think that would be helpful I'm getting me into nursing school? Also can you get into Pediatrics right after nursing school or do you need some experience first? That's why I was wondering if getting my EMT and working in the ER would be helpful for me in the long run?

I don't think you'd need to add EMT! Lots of options with what you have right now!

hey @nurseliz , i’m a junior in HS and i really want to be a labor and delivery nurse or post partum nurse. do you have any advice for high schoolers on what we could do to prep for nursing school? like any classes that we should take etc.

@NurseLiz 4 года назад

take as many science classes as you can! And if you can take statistics that would also be helpful

I absolutely would split up the readings/note work.

@markw.1618 6 лет назад

I would split up my readings, but I would certainly be resistant initially. I am not yet officially in a BSN-granting program, so not all of my fellow students are great students, but once I get into a BSN-granting program, I'll probably have much more confidence in my fellow students.

Oh i totally feel you on that! Don't want to just hand over your reading to just anybody. best of luck on your prereqs!

And my fav way to take notes is writing them down :)

Thank you for this video. I start my accelerated nursing program in May so I want to prepare what app would you recommend if you want to record your lecture or what device would you recommend to buy to record your professor lecture?

@NurseLiz 5 лет назад

I never recorded mine but I think notability lets you do it. Or just the voice memo app on your phone

Currently In the first semester of my ABSN program, been struggling to study, haven't figured which way is best for me. Been reading the whole chapters, but as you said they're so long. I take quizzes at the end, but for some reason, I don't feel like I'm learning. I have an exam in 5 days covering 9 chapters, feeling overwhelmed on how to learn as much information as I can.

I would NOT split notes. I cringe when people want to share notes. It's not because I'm neurotic as much as the way that I learn from notes is so different. I write anecdotes and examples and draw and curse in my notes to retain information.

@NurseLiz 5 лет назад

Sounds like some fun notes!

Hello Liz, God bless you. I started Nursing school yesterday and I was so overwhelmed cause I did not know where to start from. After seeing your videos and hearing you, i feel more confident. Thank you so much.

Hey, quick question on sharing your notes: would you advise trying to find someone with the same "learning style" as you or close to it to trade/share notes with, or do you not think it matters all that much? I've gone through paramedic school and plan to go to nursing school next fall so I can be as cool as my wife, but I've always had trouble taking notes and getting too caught up in the details. This is especially difficult when some learning objectives say things like "Describe cardiovascular A&P". Any additional tips would be helpful. Thanks!
