  • Thank you! I found this very helpful! :D And my room looks the same way because I am studying constantly lol

  • Thanks, this helps!

  • this help alot thanks....

  • ...you just seem like you'd be a nurse. Seriously.

  • I burn the fuckin textbook im studyin from

  • Are you Afghani? Salam chetori :)

  • Lol @ talking to yourself. That is completly me. I HAVE to talk to myself otherwise I don't process the info. I sometimes pretend that I'm giving a lecture on the material I'm studying. . . . lol glad to know I'm not the only one :-)

  • Thank you for those/these study techniques!I'm a returning student & in LVN school!(what was I thinking!) I really apprecate the videos!they really help!

  • Ive got my first Nursing test finals Monday and Wednesday next week! for Fundamentals and Skills! I found this video kind of late, but Ive still got two more years ahead of me! How did you summarize a chapter?! They're loaded with info its hard to tell what is important and what isn't! :0! I see your going to graduate soon! Congrats!! : )

  • I'm sorry but this is so boring. Your makeup and messy room are a distraction.

  • @AfghanRose hahahahahhaha! love it!

  • @AfghanRose Wow, you're kind of a tool, hahaha.

  • I'm sorry but this is so boring. Your makeup and messy room are a distraction.

  • Thank you for such great tips Cecile! Im also a SN too! just a random tip in how I remember things and any nursing student can use is to apply what we learn from our textbook in our daily lives like nutrition to excerising. Good luck to all Future nurses and to you Cecile! ^^

  • how many hours did you study a night? also, why dont you update anymore??

  • Best Tips Ever!

  • Yoga Rocks

    

  • she's so right . I do the same exact thing w/ the summarizing, etc. I put it in my own words and it helps you understand/remember better. Though it is TIME CONSUMING ! but well worth it

  • Excellent tips i will try them for sure!! im about to start my jurney to my RN! wish me luck later!!

  • These study techniques only work if you have chapters assigned and not if you have random pages assigned throughout the text.

  • Thank you.... I'm in 2 term of LVN school, I will definetly use your "Write with your hand technique" .

  • When you type you are hitting buttons, when you actauly wirte words out your brain has to thinking abou the shape of the word, which therefore stays

  • at 8 pm.

    (looking at the calendar) - it said "read chapter 1-3 three time each, then summarize it" *i give a big sign*

    ( then phone ring)

    Friend: yo, lets go clubbing 2nite.

    (me thinking) ill just got for 2 hour and come back and study.

    ME: okay lets go

    (2 hour later) look at watch - its only 10 - 30 more min

    (look at watch its 3am) thinking to myself shet got to go home and study now

    (1 hour later) home sleeping

    2marrow fail

  • Hey. i love this video i want to be a midwife x

  • you are so a cuteeeeeeeeeee

  • I think your approach is correct in that you need to "break down" your class lecture notes, & I'm not saying urs isn't effective, but the volume of info you have on your summarized notes isn't enough to rely solely on. I prefer that when I outline, I can throw the notes to the side after that, so I make heavy outlines (typed), then try to retain as much as I can. Whatever doesn't stick at that point, I then go to notecards for. Thanks for your teaching your style though! GL

  • I feel really sorry for people going into nursing. I'm a nurse and wish people would research it more..this field is going down the drain and there's no turning back. Just google "No nursing jobs" or "No nursing shortage"..and "I hate nursing". If you still are determined to go into nursing after giving that some thought, then all the luck in the world to ya! It's the most abusive field out there and everyone knows nurses are crapped on in correlation to their pay. It's a joke. :(

  • This video inspired me to be more orginized and be strict with my study techniques!

    It was one of my resolutions and now I'm pumped up.. to study.

    This is def going into my favorites because just watching this makes me want to have better study skills and just INSPIRES me. Repeating myself because it reallt does. I want to be a nurse so I'm glad I found your channel, thanks for sharing your knowledge :)

  • These are all good study techniques for any subject, bravo Cecile, thx. You're very cute. Cute girls helping people in hospitals...this is why everyone loves nurses. And the male nurses attract women who like helpful/kind guys in general - so you can't lose. Go nurses.

  • one of my classmates was kicked out of the program, because they had sex with a patient,

  • I agree! Flash Cards don't work with me at all.

    And I always summarize the chapter in my own words as same as you did! Believe it or not, It helped a lot. I do my sum before the exam abt 2 days. So the day b4 the exam, I just need to go over the note really quick and get all the whole chap.

  • Word I like your techniques. Im studying for my Psychology Final Right now. and im actually writing the important things out.

  • you are very adorable :D............nice vid :S

  • i m from india[.now in us] plz tell me best books thax

  • Very good tips! I am looking into Nursing myself. Are you going for a Bachelors or an Associates Degree in Nursing?

  • ur hot u can be my nurse anytime

  • I talk to myself to when I study, my family think that I am crazy but it works!

  • I love this. Very helpful. Thx!

  • Thanks for the tips. I am a Pre-Nursing student and I agree with you about writing notes after reading it helps me remember more information.

  • Heey thank you so much fot these tips! I believe that these hints and tips are very useful. I recently started nursing school in the Netherlands. (I'm Dutch). this is actually my fourth week now. Thank you, from your future collaegue, Claire

  • Good point about the flashcards. I tried to do that for a & p, and gave up on that idea VERY quickly. I do study in similar fashion, I have to physically write it out rather than just type it out, weird isn't it?

    Thanks for the video, you must be finished/nearly finished your degree by now?

    By the way...common sense isn't common!! ;)

  • Good job with the videos. I wrote everything into my own words all through nursing school. I found it helped a lot for the critical thinking exam questions. NCLEX was a breeze after nursing school!

  • Hey, thank you so much! I really believe that these hints and tips work for me! I recently started nursing school in the Netherlands. (I'm Dutch). I believe this is my third week actually. Thanks for making/uploading this video! It's really helpfull. Greetings, your future colleague Claire

  • For me it is really hard to summarize and put it on the paper..my finger gets tired so much that I can't write anymore..any other tips so that I can study better??

  • what do you summarize? I cant seem to pull the right info. I am just doing prerequisites right know but i suck at tests.

  • what do you smmerize? I cant seem to pull the right info. I am just doing prerequsits right know but i suck at tests.

  • So did you get through first semester without a study group? I'm on my second week of my first semester and all i hear from my instrutors is "get in study groups!" .......and for yoga...i guess i can get in touch of my feminine side? xD

  • Excellent study techniques. I studied like that in high school and it helped a lot. I'm starting nurses school in about two months and I'm very nervous. Thanks and good luck with your nursing career!

  • organize your bed room,

  • hey cecile do you by any chance have the audio books for nurse ??? thank you

  • Do you limit your chapter summaries to 1 or 1.5 pages?

  • You're gorgeous. Do you live around jersey? I wanna take you to dinner, for real lol.

  • yeah,it really helps to write stuff down,i want to go to be an rn.

  • why did you took up nursing?

  • hola saludos

  • I will try this! I believe forcing myself will help me with every assignments and tests. My techniques is different from yours. Plus its not organize like yours. You must be a very busy person because you don't have the time to clean your room like I do. :) Don't take it personally :). Take care

  • Hey, I just discovered your videos...and they're very helpful! Thanks for sharing!!

  • no jobs for new nurses better find another course

  • u know people just watch this because your hot right? lol xD

  • Study out loud is probably a nursing students best kept secret! you nailed the organization part tho..

  • hey Cecile. just wanna say big THANKS 4 all your posts. big fan. i'm in the UK and being using your techniques ever since i've discovered them. top drawer stuff. have helped me get a place at a med school. wish u the best in life and good luck. ps messy rooms ftw!

  • Thanx for your response. I passed my Peds Final. We are now in Endocrine. I hate hormones...Any advise from that?

  • i think ur videos help a lot

  • Hello Cecile. I've been watching your videos and i love it. We have the same study techniques. It's time consuming but whatever is goingt to help me. I am studying for my Peds Final. We take our exam on Wed of next week. I am getting a little nervous. Do you have some advise for me on what i should focus on. It's alot of material to know...

  • @mwhitexo55 omgosh, please study vital signs and anatomy of a child because it is different from adults. on the nclex reviews ive done, there are alot of....."you walk into the room and you see this and this and this happening, what should u do?" call the doctor? or do nothing because everything is normal....do not get confuse with adult stuff and children stuff, it will screw you

  • u know what helps me is to stop thinking of studying as not having a life. Thinking that way makes u feel like a looser. Studying is a life that will give u a much better one. Seeing it this way has helped me get through all my classes. You're videos are really good. Going to try yoga. Thanx.

  • Keep the videos coming! I just got accept in a BSN program & I need all the advice I can get! Good video by the wayy =]

  • @AmethystStiletto CONGRATS ON GETTING INTO NURSING SCHOOL!!!!! Yes...I was screaming at you. I would like to tell you to READ those books, they're so expensive, you may as well read em right? Take it one day at a time, looking at ALL the stuff you have to do in each semester can make u feel overwhelmed. Stay optimistic, u'll have clinical with some nasty nurses, optimism is the ONLY thing that will get u through a potentially bad day sometimes, and make sure to take time for u honey.

  • heyyy.i like ur video and i think ur the same type of me(i mean studying type):D

    i did summary too when i studied, but then i quit cuz that was too much work.instead, i just highlight and put notes on the book. My book is always messy .LOL.

  • hey how much on average do you study daily..im scared because i got accepted to a fulltime slot in a local nursing school but i have to work full time to survive

    (luckily at night which i have alot of downtime in a hospital). i really dont want to go to school parttime.do you think its possible? to work fulltime and nursing school also? fulltime?

  • Haptic Learners ONLY can learn by "doing it" ..I re-write my notes every night.....This works for me....

  • You have alot of really great points!

  • your bedroom is such a mess.

  • @frederick1990091 yup, thats how i roll.

  • @ItzCecile Mine is like that too!! lol

  • @ItzCecile life of a nursing student

    <3

  • @frederick1990091 What do you expect. She is a nursing student. This pratice takes a lot of hours. You do not always have time to do everything. I know I have took nursing classes also.

  • oh i love you so much for this techniques, now i know that lack of sleep hours is not good at all, i will try doing your tips, and i'm gonna have to comment you if it works,, have power mate!!!

  • lol when i study A & P i do that "talking to myself out loud too!" i thought i'm the only one..but it really does works!! i also records professors lectures on my recorder and listen to it at home! it works wonders!!

    now i'm starting nursing program (finally :) ) on August 30!! i'm soooo excited yet nervous with all the readings and clinicals! hope i'll survive!!

  • im starting child care in sept so cud u give me advice what to do on the course work

  • ur so right:)..thnx...

  • You read the assigned chapters and pay attention in lecture!

  • @jsbach15 GOOD FOR YOU!

  • @jsbach15

    That's not a "study" technique.

  • @jinkies0x Oh yeah? Since when isn't READING part of studying?

  • @jsbach15

    Reading isn't going to help you past an exam. You have to "study" what you read. Just reading from a book isn't studying, it's just reading from a book. It goes in through one ear, and out the other.

  • @jinkies0x You're lack of insight and comprehension in relationship to reading is astounding.

  • @jsbach15

    You can't comprehend what you read unless you study it.

  • sorry! I accidentally clicked it again and again -___-

  • You and I have EXACTLY the same study techniques! I always summarize my notes and I HAVE to talk to myself when I study so that I can remember better! *High Five*!

  • You and I have EXACTLY the same study techniques! I always summarize my notes and I HAVE to talk to myself when I study so that I can remember better! *High Five*!

  • You and I have EXACTLY the same study techniques! I always summarize my notes and I HAVE to talk to myself when I study so that I can remember better! *High Five*!

  • You and I have EXACTLY the same study techniques! I always summarize my notes and I HAVE to talk to myself when I study so that I can remember better! *High Five*!

  • You and I have EXACTLY the same study techniques! I always summarize what I have read and I also talk to myself when I'm studying! *High five* !!

  • Do you summarize paragraph by paragraph or chapter by chapter. I really like your technique. I start my Junior year of nursing school June 1st! Going for by BSN!

  • Your room is a mess!

  • I just stumbled across your other channel, and I really like these kind of videos.

    I study out loud as well and I actually walk around, just to make sure I don't fall asleep.

    I hope you keep making these videos, they're really usefull and fun to watch.

  • I talk to my self too!! lol.. Thats one of the best ways to study !!

    Good luck on everything !

  • how much time did you have to read 12 chapters?

  • Itis hard but u have to know how to study and take the test. I bought this guide from someone named ms.nursegirl18466 called a survival guide for beginning nursing students for like 5 dollars. its short but its relly helpful

  • Can I please have the notebook once you graduated?

    yes I am serious lol

  • hey. i really like your vid. im a first sem nursing student and i have a question. how do u read the questions on the test? lol i know it sounds weird, but i tend to overthink them and i end up missing the most obvious questions. so, how should you read the questions so you wont overthink them? also, how do u try to do the process of elimination when answering? the answers all seem right to me sometimes lol. sorry for the long post, but help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

  • You are mega cute and intelligent.I just like to throw my 2 cents to you that sweety spend couple of hours for organizing your room.After cleaning up your room you will feel more energetic.Please, don't be offended.............

  • @cosmopolitegirl haha..I was thinking the same thing..

  • Thanx dear! It helped me alot. Just keep updating the info. Good luck with nursing.

  • I do the same thing you do and so far i have a 3.5 in nursing school :)

  • what do you do when the info is too dense to summarise,like somep parts of A/P and med/surg

  • just summarize what you have on your study guide or what the prof. lectures about in class

  • hey there, if your patient can move their arms, have them hold on to one side of the rails and then you can put pillows and stuff underneath the other side, then tell them to let go........if your patient is total care and they cannot grab onto the rails, you need another person to help you, ask a CNA and you guys do it together.

  • THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH! THIS WAS SUPER DUBER HELPFUL! how is nursing school? are you already done? i am a prenursing major, and I am trying soooo hard to get good grades in anatomy and everything else before i go to nursing school. thank you for posting this!

  • I do the exact same thing as you and it helps me do well on my nursing exams aswell. good advice!

  • Thanks for your videos very helpful.

  • excellent advice~thanks :)

  • Your videos are really good , I want to be a nurse i graduate highschool in december but im already all excited xD

  • Hey! Thanks.

  • Im currently in the RN program and I agree with everything you have said. Note cards do nothing for me and neither do study groups. And with the talking to yourself part I definately do that. One time i was taking an exam and I was talking through my mind remembering how i associated that part of the exam while studying and my teacher thought I was crazy!

  • good idea ima be alking to ma self nw thanks the test sure are hard to think quietly

  • Are you studying to be an RN??? If so any tips? cuz thats what I wanna be!

  • Index cards work well for me in nursing school I break each card into nursing process for example Assessment- I write what i would assess for a particular disorder, late s/s and early s/s. Diagnosis-I define the disorder come up with nursing diagnosis, planning how i will plan to care for this patient. Interventions-that are evidenced based for particular disorder ect. evaluation ect

  • Comment removed

  • Guys freshman year of highschool, how much do your grades count? I have straight B's right now...

  • Well, the way I see it, the better the grade, the better off you'll be. PERIOD. And All grades passed 8th grade count. Trust me. Get the very BEST grades possible no matter what, and it will make life WAY easier.

  • not really i got A students in my RN proram from HS and they eiher get Bz and Cz Nurssing skool is whole different thing wow it sure damm is

  • just watched a couple videos, wished I knew about this earlier good work,I just graduated in november, nclex in 3 weeks, gl to all -malenurse

  • good luck brother male nurse to be 2

  • @eyece87  all the best!!!!

  • thanks for sharing your experience ^ ^

  • I am a pre nursing student. I'm taking A&P202 currently. I just need this class and Micro & then the NET before I can apply to nursing school. I'm excited to find your videos because I really am curious about what to expect once I'm in the program. Please keep making them!!! :) Thanks

  • Hey sexy, thanks for the tips! Im definitely going to use these for my business classes.

  • What nursing program are you in i.e. BS nursing, LPN etc?

  • hey! great video and advice!! you do exactly what I do, I summarize all of the reading. However, It does take a lot of time to do.

  • so what do you try to do when you summarize? i can't sit and read so I write down just about everything and it takes forever....how do you pick out the main stuff as in what is going to be tested on?

  • you pay attention in lecture

  • I have been contemplating entering the nursing field. I would like to know would you prefer that someone become a certified nursing assistant first before they enter into nursing to see whether or not this field is for them?

  • i did mefical asst for the same reason i think i wasted my time if u wanna care and love to care go for it im 25 and on my second semester for RN

  • awesome videos! I wish I had these when I was in nursing school. These are definitely excellent tips. The key thing was definitely time management and blocking study time and forcing yourself.

    Good Luck with everything!

    sounds like you're already on your way to becoming a great nurse ^___^

  • Thanks allot I just needed your tips!

  • How many hours a day do you study and attend classes???

  • hi there, i only write down things i don't kno about, i usually just skip things i easily understand or things i already know about =), in clinicals you just gotta force yourself to be agressive and not hide behind the stations. just go around introduct yourself to the rns and ask them if they need help, i also find that talking to your patients also build up a lot of confidence because you build a trust relationship with them =)

  • Great tips, I agree that you have to force yourself at times to study, the summarizing is really working for me, thanks!

  • oh my gosh this was so helpful! will DEFINITELY be trying this. thanks cecile (:

  • hahaha i thought i was the ONLY one who studied "out loud"...... thats really the only way i can remember things!!

  • if i got an A because of that, that's what i'll do, if one thing works for other people, it may not work for you, doesn't mean it won't work

  • I have that gigantic calender and I love it cause i can see the tings i need to do and ahead of time. Wats ur advice on medsurg? too much stuff to remember and I'm not a fan of writing summaries because reading the chapters are already a pain. thanks

  • You are an angel for posting this, and you manage to stay cute, too! Thanks.

  • Great advice! Thanks for always sharing your journey =)

    Hey do you know any nursing books for someone who is plannning to join the program? like nursing for dummies? lol ok maybe not that but do you suggest reading like biology books ? Thanks!

  • Hi, I was just wondering.. since you take notes while you read the chapter, do you take notes during the lecture as well? If so, how do you incorporate the two? I'm starting my BSN program in september and I think your videos are awesome! :)

  • hey! thank you for sharing all this info. My dream job is to become a nurse too, right now it seems like you have to really have a lot of focus, dedication, organization, and a LOT of hard work to get by nursing school. It seems like you have to do a lot of self sacrifice, well just from how you describe it anyway, makes it sound like its hard to have a social life and study at the same time : / but hey no pain no gain.

  • FYI: You're beautiful.

  • Great tips! Being organize is certainly the key. Good luck and I know you will do well in school.

  • Hi, I am in love with your videos and plan on watching them forever! LOL but where did you get the huge calender? I need one really bad to remember what I have to do because my memory sucks!!!

  • hi there, at any home office places such as Office Max or Office Depot =)

  • Thank you very much.

  • Cecile, that was a GREAT video. A lot of your techniques I use myself too.  I am going to do the talking to yourself thing and also buying that big calendar! You are too kind to do this for everyone!

  • lol i have the same fundamentals book... freaking huge stuff!! (but apparently i was told that our med-surg book is supposed to be 11lbs!!)

  • I always talk to my self too, it is soooo helpful!!

  • i see u scratching at 0.34. do you need assistant??

  • excuse me?

  • vacation is almost over.. haiz..

    so sad, few of my friends out from nursing..

    but, the game is continuing.

    my study techniques very weird..

    you were right.. thingz surround us very distracting most.. well .. make us of them(distracter)

  • hello i am nurse same , where are you from? i from mexico. your video is amezing like you.

    atte: alex

  • your videos are SOO helpful! I'm glad I found these

  • Play computer game help in focussing.. you should try it!!

  • i play world of warcraft haha

  • oo.. i really dont know how to play that game.. i m bad with planning..i dont have plan.. haha.. tq for replying..

  • men, summarizing is time consuming... hahahaha!

  • lol im hoping studying in general is time consuming as well...otherwise whats the point

  • i know some people hate school, but they still force themselves up in the morning cuz they know they gotta do what they gotta do, u just have to find ur medium
