In this video we're going to talk about 3 nursing school resources you've gotta have
for nursing school.
And, some of these, you may not have thought about yet.
So stay tuned, I'll let you know exactly what they are.
Okay, so the first nursing school resource that is a MUST HAVE in my opinion is an app
to help you answer those pesky nursing school questions.
And this one's called the NCLEX Mastery App.
It is UH-MAZING!!
I used it in nursing school before my exams to answer questions about what I was studying.
And there's 2 reasons I love doing this: 1st: it helped me learn the information better,
and 2nd: it helped me get into the mindset and the zone of answering nursing school style
questions, or NCLEX style questions.
And if you've been around here for a while, you know that I always recommend that you
answer some practice questions before you take your exams.
Even if you get them wrong, it's still going to help you get used to how you'll be tested
on your exam, and what typical nursing school questions look like.
So, if you don't do anything else, download this app, keep it on your phone, and run through
some practice questions before your exams.
They actually make it super easy because the questions are divided up by subject, so if
you need help with fundamentals, just click on fundamentals, if you need help with cardiac,
click on cardiac.
It's super easy, and it will help you a TON.
And I've actually got a 20% off deal for you, so if you use the link down below this video,
you'll get 20% off that app.
But make sure you use that link, because if you don't you won't get the deal.
Now, a little disclaimer, I will receive a small commission if you decide you'd like
to purchase through my link for this app, or any of the other resources in this video.
But honestly, I love all of them and I couldn't live without them in nursing school, so I
would recommend them to you anyway because I LOVE them, and I know you will love them
as well!
Now, the 2nd resource I recommend is a book to help you out with care plans.
You write care plans every day in nursing school, so it's really important to have a
handy resource to make them WAY easier, instead of spending hours and hours struggling to
write them.
So the sooner you find one that works for you, the better off you'll be.
Because the quicker you can write your care plans, the faster you can get back to living
your life.
So here's the book I recommend: It's the Nursing Diagnosis Handbook by Ackley and Ladwig, and
it literally walks you through each nursing diagnosis, and the possible goals, causes,
symptoms, and interventions you can do.
It basically writes your care plans for you.
So all you need to do is look up the nursing diagnosis you're working with, and it lists
out the possible goals you can use, possible related-to factors, the possible signs and
symptoms, and nursing interventions.
It's amazing.
So definitely buy this book, you'll thank me later once you've saved about a gazillion
hours writing care plans.
And the 3rd resource that we'll talk about is the "Made Incredibly Easy" book series:
specifically the nursing assessment, pathophysiology, and fluid and electrolytes books.
These are the 3 books I used in nursing school and let me just tell you: LIFE SAVER.
This book series really breaks down concepts super well, so it's way easier to understand.
Now, the only issue I ran into with these books, is that because the concepts are so
broken down and easy to understand, that it doesn't go as deep into some of the topics.
So for example, with the pathophysiology book, it's more of a high level overview of what's
going on with each disorder, rather than a deeper dive into each of them.
So I actually paired these books with my other resources, like the Merk Manual or my other
nursing school textbooks.
So if you're struggling to understand some of those tough nursing school concepts, the
"Made Incredibly Easy" book series might be really helpful for you.
And that's a wrap!
I hope you enjoy those resources, I know they will help you ROCK nursing school.
