Notetaking

How to take good notes in Nursing school

2. Keep your notes short Write down the things you don't already know. Keep it a short summary. Use abbreviations for words where you can. Focus on the main points and create an outline format.

1. Decide on the best strategy-Paper or digital Most of us can type faster than we can write, however research shows people retain information more when they handwrite it. If you do digital notes in class, make it a practice to rewrite your notes by hand after class.

4. Think while you write Make sure you keep your brain engaged while you write. Think about more than the words your instructor is saying. Think about why they are saying them and what themes are presenting from their lecture that you need to know and understand.

3. Be organized Write neatly or consider rewriting your notes later. Organization is important. Number your pages and identify the topic at the top of your notes.

Study Strategies

For use at any time

A KWL chart is a organizational tool that is effective for helping to recall knowledge and track your learning progress. K stands for what you already KNOW about the topic. W stands for what you WANT to know or questions you have about the topic L stands for what you LEARNED after the lesson

mAKING CONNECTIONS & ELABORATION

Compare & Contrast

Visualizing

Endless possibilities for nursing content

Really this involves using all the senses to get the best mental image/understanding.

As you read, try to make connections to what is already known about the topic and what you're reading.

A chart comparing reflexes, asssessment techniques, normal responses, & spinal cord level

What noises might you hear the patient make? What sounds would you hear on auscultation?

How does the patient look? What does the pathology look like?

KWL Charts

A flow chart comparing ADH Homeostasis

Overlapping circles comparing types of hypo/hyper disorders

Concept mapping

Manifestations of a disease process in different age patients

What would pulses, skin temp, swelling feel like?

Some conditions have distinct smells.

Study Strategies

Before class

Reading

Students often dismiss completing their reading as not worth their time. This however, is a grave mistake in nursing school. Best case: Read the chapters and note most important concepts. Next better case: Skim the readings and take note of most important concepts. Worst case: Not reading at all. You set yourself up to fail.

Study Strategies

During Class

Tips for maximizing in class learning

Participate in class! Listen for answers to questions you've come up with during your readings, Don't try to write word-for-word. Minimize distractions around you...Jot down worries with a time you'll address them later. Cornell Method of Note Taking consists of 2 columns and a summary. Main ideas and notes to the main ideas go in the columns. Helpful to then test yourself later.

Cooperate

Study Strategies

After Class

It is important to take what you've learned in class and link it with what you read before class. Create a study tool that organizes & simplifies the information.

Distributed Practice-This utilizes periods of rest or separation when studying topics. When we cram, we just saw the item so we aren't retrieving it from memory,

Retrieval-A self-quizzing study strategy that can use many different formats.

Interleaving-If you're studying Monday and Thursday, rather than studying 1 subject each day, spend a chunk of time on each subject on both days.

Study Strategies

To Teach it is to know it!

Remediate on your exams and explain why you chose the wrong answer.

Explain to yourself or others, the information you learned.

Connect, Extend, Challenge-Ask yourself: How are ideas related to what I already know, how did my learning extend, and what is still challenging?

Try to explain the rationales for the incorrect and correct answers.

Write your own exam questions on the content you will be tested on.

If I were to paraphrase what we learned today, I would say...
