in this video I'm going to give you five
action steps to help you rock your
nursing school finals hey there friend
my name is Christina Romano from nursing
school of success comm and today we are
talking about how you can rock your
final exams one of our email subscribers
Haley actually got the highest grade in
her class a 90% from following our study
tips and I want that to be you so today
we're gonna walk you through five steps
to help you study for your finals and be
sure to watch until the very end of the
video because of course I've got a free
cheat sheet to give to you to help you
rock your finals let's do it so step
number one is to go all around your
house your car your locker if you have
one at school and your kitchen table and
collect all of your notes from
throughout the term seriously do not
forget your kitchen table you know
you've got like a gazillion nursing
school things piled up there right I
know that I did so go through all of it
and collect all of your class notes your
powerpoints your study guides the
modules anything else that you have just
collect it all and get it all into one
place now step two is to organize it all
so you can do this a couple of different
ways what I like to do actually is to
organize all of my notes by week of the
term so I would literally take all of my
notes and organize them by week of the
term so I'd say okay these notes are
from week one these are from week two
and so on this worked really well for my
school because we would usually cover
the different topics in each of the
different weeks so actually by dividing
my notes up by week I was also dividing
them up by topic but if you're nursing
school doesn't do that you can
definitely separate your notes by topic
if you prefer so just make sure that you
have you know at least seven or so
different packets of notes so they're
small enough so once you've collected
all of your notes from the whole term
you'll separate them by week of the term
or topic and you'll put them all into
like individual packets so each packet
one week of the term or one topic and
now step number three is to bust up that
highlighter and to use it and here's the
best way to do this take one packet at a
time and highlight only the information
that you don't know and that you don't
remember learning it might be a lot in
the beginning but don't worry friend
you'll know it by the end of this so go
through each one of your packets one at
a time and highlight what you don't
remember now here's a sticking point
that I know you might get hung up on
when you go through these packets you're
going to feel like you don't know
anything but it's not true my friend you
know more than you think you do trust
yourself you know your stuff you don't
give yourself enough credit for how
smart you are you are in nursing school
right now and you are in nursing school
for a reason you care about becoming the
best nurse you can be and I know that
you know more than you realize so
believe in yourself
and your knowledge so as you go through
this process trust what you know if you
already know something in one of the
packets skip it don't highlight it it's
a waste of your time to study something
that you already know so please trust
yourself you know more than you think
you do all right now let's move on to
step number four after you've separated
all your notes in the packets and
highlighted everything that you don't
know in each one of those packets take
one packet at a time and rewrite
everything you highlighted onto a
separate sheet of paper this way you
won't be sifting through a huge pile of
notes to study you'll be studying from a
fresh piece of paper and it's just it's
just a lot less stressful and a lot less
paper to sift through so rewrite
everything you've highlighted on to a
separate sheet of paper and again do not
worry about the things that you already
know and that you didn't highlight you
already know that stuff so you don't
need to waste your time because you
already know it seriously you're amazing
trust your
self and that brings us to step number
five which is to study those new pieces
of paper that you transferred your notes
onto and not only that but you need to
study them every single day study
everyday will actually help you retain
that information so you're not cramming
for your exam you'll be studying a
little bit every day and you'll be a lot
more prepared for your nursing school
finals so here's how this goes and every
day you will be begin studying highlight
again what information you don't
remember and again you will transfer
only that information that you don't
know onto a separate sheet of paper so
every day you're pulling out your notes
you're highlighting your notes that you
don't are the things that you don't
remember you're rewriting all of the
stuff that you highlighted onto a new
sheet of paper and then you're gonna
study only that information that way
you're not wasting your time studying
things that you already know this is
going to save you a ton of time so go
through and highlight what you don't
know rewrite all of that information
onto a separate sheet of paper and then
study only that information and as you
do this everyday that amount of
information that you need to study will
decrease every single day because you're
retaining more and more of it so that is
your five step process for studying for
final exams collect all of your notes
organize your notes by week or by topic
highlight the information that you do
not know rewrite everything that you've
highlighted onto a fresh new sheet of
paper and study only that information
that you rewrote and then just repeat
that process every single day of
highlighting rewriting and studying
eventually you will end up with just one
half sheet of paper maybe or less by the
time your final rolls around because
you've already learned it all so that is
your five step process for studying for
your finals I highly recommend that you
start this process early right you know
nursing school is no walk in the park
instead of
finals will be either don't worry you've
got vacation to look forward to so you
can push through just a little bit
