Tips For Surviving Nursing School

By Hedrick Lepsch





Clara Barton, a pioneer in nursing as well as in women's rights, changed the world by undertaking the rewarding lifestyle nursing offers. Her efforts led to advancements in nursing as well as the foundation of The American Red Cross. Careers in the nursing field are among the most rewarding and admired. Sometimes, during the grueling process of nursing school, you lose sight of the honor associated with your future career. There is light at the end of the tunnel, although sometimes it might not feel like it. Below are some helpful tips to help you survive the nursing school gauntlet, get an RN and join the ranks of dignified nurses all over the world.



This is a tip that everybody knows, but few have the discipline to actually put it into practice. Learning the materials for your nursing exams becomes much easier if you dedicate time everyday towards reviewing what you have learned in classes. Cramming is not an effective way to study because of the way your memory converts short-term memories into long-term ones. Short-term memory becomes long-term memory through time.



Since graduation, his business boomed during the dot com explosion and progressed through entertainment and sports since them. He owns theaters, a film company (Magnolia Pictures) an HDTV company, a NBA team (Dallas Mavericks - how fitting), and has authored multiple books. He has donated to political campaigns (both democrats and republicans) and created a stimulus plan. And of course he is a "shark" investor on ABC's Shark Tank. His eclecticism is astonishing. He will do or be whatever he wants to be from event planning to new media marketing.



Nursing school is the time to make mistakes and learn from them. While in clinicals or in class, put yourself out there and try. Answer questions if you think you know the answer. Volunteer to try new procedures. The best way to learn is by trying, failing and then correcting your mistakes later on. If you do not try while you are a student, you may find yourself making mistakes while you are caring for real patients on your own. Clinical experience is the perfect opportunity to try new things and be corrected by nurses who know what they are doing.



While overall a pretty good guy, his passion sometimes gets the best of him. He is particularly well known for his antics at Dallas Mavericks games. Rather than sitting up in a glass booth, he sits right down there on the bench, shouting away the moment the game gets underway. He has been fined multiple times, total costs soaring above a million dollars. Often criticized for his behavior, he at least is generous enough to match his fines with donations to charities as a sort of apology.



Despite his faults, it is clear that he has many strengths. Innovation is definitely one of them. Although hit-and-miss, his ventures have proven quite profitable. The way he changed the entertainment environment at Dallas Mavericks games has been a great success. His TV network was the first to be programmed exclusively for HD. He also releases films in the theater and on TV at the same time. Who knows what he will do next.
