when im supposed to be study but im watching how to study videos
Basically my life😂
Shakirah G yessss lol
Shakirah G Basically me awhile ago. i was studying for pre-finals
My life
This is me right now lmaoooo
Omg yaaaasss preach it girl! "A grade does not define you.... A 'C' nurse and an 'A' nurse are both still going to be be registered nurses. They're both going to be hired into jobs. And they're both going to be successful nurses" I needed to hear this so bad. Thank you sooo much Kathryn. Keep doing what you do!! You are such an inspiration. Love you!
So if you pass all of your classes in nursing school c and above you still get to become a registered nurse?
no you need to get 70% on the NCLEX test... you can still graduate your BSN or ASN but weather you become an RN is weather you pass the test or not
For my program, a passing grade is considered an 80% so a B! Still, if you got all B's, you could still graduate with your BSN. The NCLEX is a whole other story!
Caitlin Weaver the NCLEX is easy!!!!!!!!!
All the inexpensive graduate schools in my area require a 3.0 gpa thats what makes me nervous about taking up nursing, the whole point for me would be to be an NP eventually.
I study the same way! A lot of my classmates think I'm crazy for rewriting alllll of my notes (sometimes twice), but it gets results and my transcript isn't complaining^_^
Vita Kristelle Resilla 😅😅😅
Vita Kristelle Resilla i know it’s like 2 years later but i’m going to college and doing my pre reqs for nursing and i plan on rewriting my notes because i suck at studying and keeping focus i brought a recorder but how would you make the notes like correspond to the notes taken in class
Thank you for this information will definitely do it
Vita Kristelle Resilla repetition, repetition, repetition! There’s a reason they made us write our spelling words 5 times each back in elementary school! I learn/study the same way.
i legit do this in high school !!
they’ll give us notes they already typed and whenever i have time i surely do re write them all
“Study like you’re saving someone’s life” OHHHH MAN this hit me hard but it’s so true 😂😂😂 I’m applying to nursing school for the fall of 2019, this was so incredibly helpful, thank you!
Taylor Murphy I read this at the exact time she was saying it!!! Words to live by! This helped me so much to prepare for my next semester
The hardest part of nursing school was getting started. Once you start and you’re interested in nursing it’s really unbelievably amazing ❤️
My biggest test taking tip is Read the Question without reading the multiple choice answers. Write down your answer or the first thought that came to mind. See if your answer fits one of the multiple choice. Otherwise I second guess myself. This worked when I was learning dendrology (Tree Identification/Latin/English). Apply it to other basic memorizing classes.
Doesn’t work for nursing school
@@laurenhills239 why
Kazaku Kogalniceanu cuz in nursing school most of the time we have 3 right answers to choose from and one or two obvious wrong answers. Then you have to choose between which is the MOST right. It’s hard to explain
I think it's a good way because that reminds me all things involved in that questions.
Thanks for the tip!
You should digitize your notes and publish them. That would be a good passive income.
How dp you do that ?
necopost 10/10 would buy
Please sell me these notes
Yea I want it
I would buy them!
Your whole thing explaining about how your grades don't define you as a nurse was super super encouraging. Thank you so much ❤️
I can tell you as an RN now I wasn't the top of my class but after school those 85's won't faze you and you won't look back your going to be an amazing RN and that number won't define you or your title. A patient won't remember what grade you got they'll remember how you made them feel!
Well said!!!!!!!
I have a 75 in English 111 right now.....it ain't no joke and your right it's not the grades that makes you a great nurse!
Rita Anderson we have to get above a 80 in every class. Anything under a 80 is a F
my hand is soo red from clapping you just made my night!
I'd pay serious money for that pharm binder👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
YESSS
but writing it out, helps you remember.. well for me it does. haha.
true,
I would too
Sell us copies please
WOW!! You had me at binders with colorful bubbles... but when you showed the side by side comparison sheet !!???.....I almost hit the dog gone ceiling. I guess you win for best note taker EVER.
You are going to be very successful and will be inspiring your subscribers all the way!! Great Job!!
Oh my gosh you literally made me cry and gave me so much confidence for my journey to become a nurse thank you so much 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
We are very similar learners! I did a lot of the same things when I was studying through nursing school as well. One thing I also did that I found helpful was searching a certain concept on CZcams. Finding a video that helped explain things in a different way was SO helpful and it allowed me to see how certain things affected the body.
Yes definitely!
X Xx. X
Thanks for this tip!
That's exactly how I am.
Good tip thanks
This tutorial is sooo helpful! Thank you so much for the advice and study tips! Nursing school can be so overwhelming and sometimes discouraging but people like yourself truly help me to push through. Thanks!!!
Your notes are AWESOME!!!!I I took Pharmacology last semester. Talk about brain overload! I'm taking Pathophysiology and Adult Health I this semester. Patho (AND just about every nursing class) is kinda sorta an extension of Pharmacology for me because the info I learned in Pharm rolls over. I'm learning about new meds everyday. I have to recall most of the meds I learned about last semester. The best part about it is that I feel awesome when I recognize a med in clinical that my pt is taking. It's one of those "Heeeeey, I know what that is and what it does!" type of moments. So even though it was a beast to tackle, Pharm is one of the most important classes we have to take as nursing student. Meds can make or break any situation. Thanks for sharing your amazing organizational skills! You're the bestest! From one nursing student to another :o)
Is pharmacology only one semester long? And let's say you fail a class are you kicked out of nursing school or do you then retake it and continue on?
Jaclyn Alvarez In my school we only have pharmacology in one semester. If you fail 2 classes you're out of the program 😕 So basically you're only allowed to take a course over once.
oh seriously? Well ok
Thanks for the advice!
Thank you! This has been one of the most helpful nursing study videos I've seen because you give concrete examples and advice (like start studying a week in advance in case something comes up) that make me say, "yeah, okay, I can do that." Really appreciate it!
I remember watching this video when you first posted it, and now I just found out I got accepted to the nursing program and now I’m back again, love your channel and this video is sooo helpful, thanks!! 😊
These videos are so helpful! I'm in pre-nursing right now, so basically the hardest class I have is anatomy. But bubbly, colorful notes is something I never thought of. This really helped :D thaank youuuu
Your note layouts are a gift from God himself! I LOVE organized notes lol
I'm so glad I found this account. I'm 16 and I want to be a nurse so thank you for giving me/us a look through out your account what it's like going to a nursing school.
might be a little late, but r u in nursing school now? how is it?
Could you put all your nursing videos in a playlist? Its hard to navigate through all your videos
I'm a law student and found your study and note organisation methods super helpful because I'm like you where reading doesn't do much for me. Thanks x
This was so helpful ! Also, you remind me of Carrie Underwood.
Emily Johnson Carrie Underwood wishes she was a nurse...
Thank you!! I had watched this video a month ago and changed what I was doing to study for nursing school. I'm the same kind of learner, definitely hands on as well. I just came upon this video now - and didn't even realize you were the reason why I rearranged *how* I take notes utilizing the objectives given for each module! You rock!!
This is the first video that I've ever seen from you and right away I noticed that you are so pretty and have such a kind soul☺️❤️ I'm in nursing school too and I hate pharmacology😂 good luck to all aspiring nurses out there... We can do it!
thank you ! lol
This is GOLD thank you for doing this
oh gosh this is exactly what I wanted to see!!! I love seeing different ideas on how to take notes or tips and by far I think yours is theeeee BEST!!! THANK YOU ...I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL YOU DO 😊
You will make a great nurse Kathryn :) good luck with exams ♡ love from the UK!
I'm in my second year of nursing school and I totally learn the exact same way as you! I also write out my notes in colors, somehow it makes studying so much easier!
love the video and you're really pretty, honestly you're my inspiration!!!!
i absolutely love your tips. i suppose the hardest parts for notes is being able to simplify information. and i love the idea of studying in advance plus setting times and rewards in between for studying.
in high school i take biomedical classes and i had a test on insulin and glucose connections i knew the information and materials but i am so bad a taking tests i can so relate to this vid and the first time i took the test i got a 70 and i was SO disappointed in myself and luckly my teacher allowed me to retake it and i went in to retake the test and the next day i find out i got a 100!! i was so proud of myself and i knew i knew it and i believed in myself and i pulled through! A lot of the questions were situations and you had to figure out the problem and this boosted my motivation and i knew i had it in me so my advice to everyone is just because you got a bad grade doesn't mean you dotn know the information you might've just had a bad day YOU GOT THIS!
I needed this.... Just made a 91 on my TEAS V and now I just have interviews to go before I find out if I'm in or not! I'm so excited/scared!
Good job on your teas!!
+Kelly S Do you have any tips on studying for the TEAS?! I have to take mine soon and I'm so worried about it and not sure what or how to review.
+Jordan Reynolds +Jordan Reynolds there is a free app I downloaded when I went to take it & it gave example test questions! I know they have books you can read to prepare as well- I personally only did the app. In my opinion the TEAS is a lot easier compared to the ACT/SAT.. And I am a horrible test taker- stay calm & I'm sure you'll S great!!
+Emily Meyer Thank you!!
Yes! the Pocket Prep app for Teas has great practice questions. I also watched a few videos on CZcams for review by Mometrix. I took notes as I watched and that seemed to help! Good luck!
Your notes look so satisfying... it makes me want to study hahah!
About halfway through last semester, I started doing basically the same thing with the concept maps and it was a complete game changer. It really worked for me! I can't go back to how I used to take notes and study pharm!!
This is brilliant! I'm an enrolled nurse in Australia and have just started my bachelors of nursing at uni so we start in 2nd year so it's a hit the ground running type situation. Your video has definitely given me ideas for my own notes and how to study :)
Yaaassss, Kathryn Ann! Slaying on them notes.
Thank you so much for making this video!!
Haha this made my day!!
Would you be willing to share these notes with us?
Kayla Adams, I'm so glad you noticed something that had nothing to do with the video. Great observational skills. Hope you keep your sarcasm intact as a nurse without offending your patients.
can you show us your pathology notebook
I literally wish I had this video in high school. This helped so much. 100% (;
This video has been very helpful,and I have found it at the right time,am actually revising for my final exam and girl am grateful for this
Lol the way you studied and created your notes reminds me of what i did during my 3 hour anatomy classes.. and ended up doing the same thing for nursing and patho classes. This takes me back. Just like you, i hold onto those notes with my life. I didn't spend hours each day retyping powerpoints and drawing everything out in different colors. I love how similar we are as far as studying!
Currently studying for my pharmacology final next week. Came across your video (CZcams study break - those are important!) and HATS OFF TO YOU for your organizational skills. Learning pharmacology is like pulling teeth if you do not understand the gist of drug categories before delving into individual drugs. It took me a lot of trial and error to finally figure out how to best prepare for this class. I wish this video was made before I took the class but I hope future nursing students watch this and take your advice to heart. One investment that I don't regret is buying a huge whiteboard to hang up at home and lots of different colored dry-erase markers. I made concept maps up the yazoo on that thing and would erase and re-write until it made sense to me. Keep up the good work! Well wishes from Seattle.
hello Kathryn, would you consider making copies of your notes and putting them in PDF file and share it with us. Just a suggestions i love your notes and how you organized your notes. I have the same learning issues as you. When you have time or get done with nursing school would you be willing to share your notes on and make them electronically? thank you for you time to share with the world your experience in nursing and study guide. have a great day.
Thanks so much for this video! I am starting nursing school in June and I am just browsing around to see how other people study for their classes. I love your video! It really helped out! Good luck with everything 💕
Thank you so much for this! I definitely love being organized when it comes to notes and my planner. This helped me out so much! Thank you!!
This is hands down the most helpful video I've found. Probably because we are similar learners.
12:08 TRUTH! My instructor always said "C" nurses are the best nurses! Usually they don't memorize everything perfectly, but can apply it. Whereas the "A" nurses can be the opposite.
All the memorizations should be based on understanding all the theories ..
@@jessiewang2607 you can understand everything the professor is telling you and be a bad test taker. I myself am a hands on person I remember once I learn it in an applied setting but sometimes the way questions can be set up on tests make me second guess myself... a lot. I make many of those mistakes where you has the right answer the first time but you decided to reread the question and change your answer.
I've been waiting for this, thank you so much! 💕
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THIS HELPED ME EVEN WITH ME BEING IN HIGH SCHOOL RIGHT NOW THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR YOU ENCOURAGING WORDS THEY MEAN SOO MUCH TO ME and please just KEEP making more and more videos like this!
I'm not even going for nursing lol, but here I am watching your videos. I am going for dental hygienist, but this is still so helpful!
😂 same
I'm going for radiography!
my first day of nursing school is august 22 and i have zero study habits so this is wonderful! thank you so much
Same :) hahaha
mine is in September! are you as exited as I am? lol
Danielle Schott how'd it go ?
How did you study for the entrance exam?
How are you guys doing now?
Just got accepted into nursing school and I am loving this video as it has a lot of helpful information and advice. Thank you so much!
I've been looking forward to this video for such a long time haha. Thanks for uploading it!
Aha! Global Kinesthetic Learner! Thanks for that! I learn that way too! I have to see the big picture first, then I like to see how the small bits fit into it and not the other way around like they typically do in school.
Trish Schmidt
I learn this way too, I've just never met anyone else who did.
Whenever I take a pain relief medication, I always study the directions on both the box and on the bottle itself.
I just wanted everybody to know that.
thank you so much! I'm not going into nursing I'm a dental hygiene student but this is going to help me make my notes so much better for this coming winter term! I love the colour coordination haha
I have watched so many videos on tips and tricks for studying and none of them would interest or click in my head except your video!! Lol the global thing was a complete lightbulb in my head!! I was like oop snap!!! Thank you !! I start my prerequisites soon!
Just happened to come across your channel and I subscribed! I don't comment- I'm more a silent watcher 😀, but I had to. Basically went on a binge -specially love your nursing videos. They are so helpful. I will be starting nursing school this fall and I'm super nervous. I've been researching like crazy. Btw I do study the exact same way 😁
Good luck in Nursing school Farah! I will be starting the same time as you and am going to try and vlog about it...if that is possible..lol
+Beautifully Rewritten thank you so much! and good luck to you too! haha you should totally do a vlog if you can- I would watch! 😊
Thanks girl!! And I think I am going to give it a shot. Just received my nursing books today and plan to vlog about it this weekend. You should check it out! lol, just try not to be too harsh on me, lol im a beginner when it comes to vlogging but am totally into it.
+Beautifully Rewritten would love to see your videos and your experience as well! I will subscribe! haha..don't worry I don't vlog and I think it's really brave of you to start! sending love your way! :)
Aww thank you Farah!! I really appreciate it! Hope you will enjoy it girl!!
Girl, with those studying skillis. if you nail and 80% average or more, you're ready to do a MA in nursing. Don't stop at a BA/BSc.
This was super helpful in so many ways!! Love the smile and positive energy you kept throughout the whole video which made me feel comfortable I didn't even move my eyes off you for 1 second I was with you the whole video 🖒 You're a very smart and beautiful young lady🙄 I hope your doing awesome and achieve what you want and need to😃 💕
So awesome!! Thank you for this video, love how you showed how you write out your notes! Loved all of your tips💕
I'm in high school but just decided that nursing is what I wanna go into for sure :)
Are you able to share ALL your notes? Like from day one of nursing school & beyond?
Same question lol. Or sell replica binders because I will buy them lol
I think I've watched this video 5 times since it was first published! You're videos are super inspiring and every time I'm feeling down about nursing school your videos really help give me motivation! Love love love all your videos!
You're so amazing Miss Kathryn! It has been wonderful watching you grow into who you're becoming. I can tell you're going to have a beautiful, successful life!!! God Bless You
thanks so much for you motivational speech around 12:06!!!! Im in my first quarter of nursing school and the critical thinking application is so hard for me :( but I'm getting above a 76% on test so I'm glad about that.
Do you think that you could give an example of a critical thinking question?
It really depends on the class. For adult health its like they give you 3 s/s of the dz and you need to know what it is but the question is essentially asking you how to treat it or what to educate the pt. on. & not all info is in your notes. You need to thinking about what the dz is doing and if a s/s is nausea or diarrhea you need to think about what complications can arise from N/V----> hypokalemia & you need to know the s/s of hypokalemia cause that could be one of the multiple choices on the test and the answer. sorry if it doesn't make alot of sense, just know that nursing exams are hard!!
Iridian Perez YIKES ok thanks!
Nursing school is killing me, I'm not even playing
Emmanuel Akinbode try med school
Taryn theres no competition. Stop the nonsense
Same thing basically. Material is not hard for either nursing school or Med school, both are like trying to drinking water from a firehose in terms of information absorption.
I know this is an old comment, but this is the best fucking analogy for nursing/med school.
OMG now I'm nervous 😬😬😬😬
Thank you! I'm currently taking pre-reqs for nursing school and these definitely apply.
I had never heard of the concept of "global" but I totally related when you explained it. Thank you for sharing the knowledge and kudos for all of the hard work!!!
Thank you so much Kathryn! ❤️ I will be starting nursing school soon and I'm freaked out by all the stressful test that will come with it. This helped a lot and you definitely boosted up my confidence.!
How are the tests?
I would pay for a copy of that binder omg
Omfg I'd love to have your notes!!
Finally! Thanks I really appreciated your video as a future nursing student this fall. We have the exact same learning method and the issue with memorizing things and this video already prepared me some what for this fall.
This video definitely seems very helpful! I'm hoping to get into my nursing school in the spring! It's interesting to watch these videos and see others study techniques, yours seem very helpful and organized!
i would pay some seeerrious money for those binders omg 😩
I'd love a copy of your notes
I've been randomly watching a bunch of med school videos and I stumbled across this one (yay, finally a nursing school video) and you're so cute omg.
I'm in nursing school in Texas too!! I go to TCU and I don't start actual nursing classes and clinicals until spring 2017 but I'm so excited, and I am literally saving this video because I've never been able to explain that I need to understand the big picture first..GLOBAL. thank you sm
Omg I love this!!! I'm currently struggling with A&P because before this class I never really studied and did great but now it's starting to not work for me. So I've been trying to find ways to study in a way that I can remember everything. I learn just like you so I'm grateful you did this video. I especially loved the last part of this video because lately I've been wondering if i'm even smart enough to become a nurse, but I will not give up!!
What is A&P classes and how are you did you do in that class?
Hey Kathryn, I was just wondering if you attended Texas A&M college station, because that is the school that I will be going to next year after my first year of community college and I just wanted some feedback about the school. thank you.
I go there it's a great school!
application questions are extremely hard for me as well. and I am struggling in 2 of my courses because of this issue. I'm having a very hard time finding practice questions to study with. do you recommend key words to search I Google or websites you find practice questions on? Please resond I would really appreciate it
Alanna Gonzalez there's an app called RN Mentor. it's made by ati. they have free practice questions that are very helpful. it gives rationales and let's you go back and review the previous tests u take.
I know this is way late, but maybe this will help someone else. I had LOTS of NCLEX study books and used those questions to study. Find the NCLEX books that have questions by topics. Saunders was my fave!
You're amazing Kathryn! I have watched you since the beginning and then I just had this random moment in my life where I quit watching CZcams altogether. I recently began watching again and I thought about you and how much I've missed watching your videos! I enjoyed binge watching your channel to catch up! 😂 Thank you so much for being the BEST CZcamsr! 😊
Kathryn Ann! you are the best you have helped me to understand how to study.... this makes sense and I have a lot of anxiety.... so this helped me. Such as to re-write your power notes in my own words so I can understand a lot.
Thank you, keep making more videos especially on pharmacology I am not a genius in mathematics....
It has been 4 years since her last video i miss her
Me too. I still follow her on IG tho
I didn't even realize exactly how I learned until you said it! Wow, I feel like I can grab school by the balls and really take over, now! Thank you!!!
I'm in my pre-nursing program at college and applying to the BSN this December, your videos have been AMAZING! THANK YOU! I'm also a global kinesthetic learner, this was so helpful.
I've been waiting for this video! It helped a lot. Thanks Kathryn!!
you are so cute and so helpful hehe
I'm doing my prerequisites for nursing right now, do you have any tips for stressing out about NOT getting into nursing school?
Meditate. It sounds funny but it's seriously helpful. Learning to slow down your breathing can do a lot to stave off panic.
alyssa chase you will. Nursing shortage is REAL!
really love this i just graduated from high school and I'm taking steps to going to nursing school this made me so excited for it!!
Thank you so much! This was incredibly helpful and I definitely relate to your learning style. Your hard work is so inspiring!
I always wanted to be a nurse because I love scrubs. Weird, I know lol. Maybe as a psychologist I'll be able to wear scrubs...but I doubt it 😭 anyways, I love your scrub top!! 😍😍
Are there any updates to know about your app and when it'll launch?
What do you do while your teacher is lecturing? Do you just sit there and listen or do you make notes on your laptop or something?
I would like to know as well.
Lacey Fownes maybe she records the class
OMG I love you already. I literally found you on youtube like 6 hours ago and I have been watching your videos since. You are just so humble, sweet, hard-working girl and to me it is kind of insane to me but man you are so blessed! I hope to be a happy great nurse like you! (,:
Thank you for showing that you use copy/unruled paper for your notes; that has helped me immensely! I am a bubbly/artsy/colorful notetaker. Colors help me remember. Also, I will take my current chapter notes out of my big binder and put it in a smaller binder or folder so I can take it with me wherever I go so I can take advantage of down time.
I'm starting my first semester of college tomorrow, and I want to get a nursing degree, so thanks for making this video! It was really helpful!
What types of pens do you use?!
Fine point sharpies
Thank you so much for sharing this! 😩 I’m the same type of learner but I have the hardest time finding what works for me when it comes down to studying. I will try all of this! Thank you girl!
I saw this video about 2 months ago and let me tell you, it helped me get really organized. I bought colored pens and took my notes pretty similar to yours and it has helped me TREMENDOUSLY!!! Thank you for sharing this video!!!
omg u are making me worry! i cramped my way thru my b.s degree in microbiology and minor in chem. I once memorized all 750 powerpoint slides in one day! this will not work in nursing shcool
oh definitely not. Nursing school is all about application anyways.
This video is making me excited to start my nursing career next school year! And you look like Carrie underwood!
same here!!
You are the Queen of organization! I watched your schedule planner for school and work and now this! Get it girl!
Girllll you have helped me alot. Im applying for the BSN program your channel will be VERYYYYY helpful
