Hello everyone!
My first psych/mental health test is tomorrow (well i guess now it’s today actually...) and I have been feeling really unprepared. For some reason, I’m having such a hard time with these units. I’m interested in mental health, but something about this semester has me in a study funk. Today was the first day i kind of felt motivated. I spent about an hour and a half on this notes sheet and I’m really proud of it so I also added a picture of how I wrote the word experiencing because I thought itnlook really nice especially considering it was at the end of my 2 hour writing session. Hopefully I can get some sleep and wake up tomorrow to finish studying and do some online review questions.
I plan on posting all my review sheets for this exam soon for you all!
I hope you know you are AWESOME AND AMAZING just in case nobody told you today
When is your next exam? What are you studying? I wanna know!
Goodness gracious. I am trying to enjoy my winter break, but all I want to do study. What is wrong with me?!
Y’all it’s finals week...
This semester proved itself to be one for the books. After 4 months of doing really really well in school I turned in a paper that landed me with a failing grade (only 100 total points in a class is not fun) and pretty much scared me out of my pants. It was truly a terrifying past couple of days. I took the final for that class and needed a 84 to not only pass the class but also to continue in the nursing program. It’s absolutely brutal and slightly unfair because my exam average was a 72 and I needed a 75. Intense. THANKFULLY, I got a 96 on the exam and I’m still in it to win it. I have one more nursing theory exam and a stats exam tomorrow and then I’m home free. I’ve never been more excited. Today I have a free day so I’ll probably find a cute coffee shop like this one and study my butt off.
Enjoy these pictures from a study session a couple days ago. The latte was amazing and I got so much done. These are notes from the skin integrity unit. Still a lot more to do though!
If your finals are already over - congrats you made it! If you’re like me and still grinding away - you got this we’re in this together!
Always remember you can do it and if things go wrong it’s not the end of the world. Sometimes I have to remind myself of that still.
29.10.18 I have tried to upload this three times today! I’m trying to get back into posting more regularly, starting now! These are some photos I took a bit ago in one of my favourite cafes in Clifton, while I was revising for my summer exam in glaciology. I hope everyone’s had a really good start to the week, I’m focusing on my dissertation literature review and my mental health after a pretty heavy week last week. Xxx Emily
Had a busier than usual week, didn’t have time to post much - here are my astronomy, marketing research, consumer behavior, and MIS notes :)
Midterms are here and as usual I’m procrastinating. Making a study guide for my Art History exam this Wednesday, on Halloween!👻

29 days until the start of my exams … i am trembling …
Quick breakfast study sesh from a couple days ago! I woke up with a mission and got to work. Peanut butter banana toast was on the menu along with some iced coffee. We started our unit on perfusion and I wanted to get a head start with the information. We are quickly ramping up the content we are learning and it’s crazy to think I’ll be in clinicals in just 2 weeks. It’s really crazy how fast things are moving. Nevertheless, I absolutely love it.
Stay motivated!
It’s a Monday morning and I am laying in bed listening to classical music not wanting to get out of bed to go to school. Lab days are kind of stressful because we learn so much information but also really exciting because we learn important skills that we’ll need for the rest of our lives.
On top of that I have a stats exam today and - to keep it short - I hate statistics. I’m not too good with stats and probability so the whole class has kind of got me in stress mode all the time.
Anyway, I should get up, so here are some book notes from our nutrition concept that we finished last week. Have a wonderful day!
It’s been a hot minute my friends! The start of junior year hit me like a truck but I’m slowly bouncing back! I moved into a new place (which I am loving!) and started a new job. On top of all this I have a lot of homework and other school commitments. Thankfully my class schedule is quite nice - only one class on Tuesday and no classes on Thursday. They are pushing us hard in the nursing program this year because we start clinicals in just a couple months. They told us we’ll have our own patient during these clinicals! Nerve wracking! We learned how to give injections this week and next week is Nasogastric tube placement. It’s been crazy around here but I’m figuring out how to manage it.
Here are some pharmacology notes from last week while I sit and take notes for class tomorrow on nutrition.
Is it just me or is summer break so confusing? Like don’t I have something I should be studying? Isn’t there a project due next week? Nope. I guess I’ll just take a nap.
Hey guys, so I’m nearing the end of my senior year, and it’s been great so far! I accomplished my academic tasks efficiently and didn’t burn myself out, and I think the main contributor to my success as a student is my organization system. This system has been refined throughout my high school years, but I think now I’ve finally found the most effective methods.
Please remember that this isn’t the only organization system you can adopt; this is just the one that works the best for me, and I hope that by sharing it with you, you’ll gain a new perspective on how to stay organized as a high school student.
The first thing I wanna talk about is my notebook system, which I briefly mentioned in my Guide to Note-Taking.
My notebook system comprises three types of notebooks: the Everything Notebook, the subject notebook, and the revision notebook.
The Everything Notebook
The first stage is in-class notes. I only bring one notebook to school every day. I call it my Everything Notebook, and this is where I write down all of the notes I take in class. This way, I don’t have to lug around six notebooks where I’m only going to use a few pages in each of them that day.
Subject Notebooks
At the end of the day, I would revise my notes and compare them to the syllabus so I know where we are in the learning process. I would then transfer my class notes from my Everything Notebook to my different subject notebooks. This is stage two. I also start to jazz up my notes because I use the notes in my subject notebooks to study for tests.
In addition to my class notes, I include material from my teachers’ notes that they might not have elaborated on, as well as points in the syllabus (I’m currently taking A2) that were only glazed over briefly, or not at all, in some cases. (Note: this does not mean they completely skip a chapter or topic; it’s more like they missed a few bullet points that should be in my notes but aren’t. An example would be if we’re learning about phenol reactions and the teacher forgot to mention the use of FeCl3 as a test for phenol.)
Revision Notebooks
Stage three comes a little later, when exam week is just around the corner. Essentially, I rewrite and improve my notes from my five different subject notebooks into a single revision notebook or binder. (Recently, I’ve opted for a revision notebook because they’re lighter and easier to carry around.)
Because my teachers don’t always teach in the order of the syllabus, the first thing I do is organize my notes according to the syllabus. I would then fill in any other missing gaps in the material that hadn’t been filled in stage two.
When compiling material for my revision notebook, I use as many sources as possible: my own notes, my teachers’ notes, youtube videos, online sites, and my favorite, the mark scheme! I add in some answers from past papers (explanations only, so no calculations) mainly to secure marks. It’s safer to memorize definitions straight from the mark scheme than from the textbook or from handouts. I also do this to ease my memorization, especially for topics that require lengthy explanations. It’s a lot easier to remember the 6 points I need to explain the principles of NMRI than to remember everything in the four-page handout my teacher gave me.
Folders and binders are essential to organizing your papers. Some people keep a single accordion folder for all their papers, but for me it’s just too heavy to carry around all the time. The same goes for subject folders that are brought to school every day.
Instead, my binder/folder system comprises my Everything Folder and my subject binders.
The Everything Folder
The folder I carry with me to school every day is this A4 folder I got from Tokyu Hands. It has 5 pockets, one for each day of the week, so all the papers I receive on Monday will go behind the first divider, and so on.
Some people also keep blank papers in their folders; I don’t because my school has its own lined paper and graphing pads that I keep under my desk that I use if a teacher asks us to do an assignment on those papers. If I do work at home, I prefer to just use a plain A4 paper or a legal pad.
Subject Binders
At the end of the week, I’ll sort my papers into my subject binders. Sometimes I’ll keep some papers in the folder if I think I’ll be needing it the next week. This usually only applies to worksheets because all my teachers’ notes are available on Google Classroom, so I can access them even if I don’t physically have them.
Each of these binders have sections inside them:
Physics: 1 for handouts, notes, and tests, 1 for Paper 4 (Theory), 1 for Paper 5 (Practical Planning). I included extra tabs to mark the different topics in the handouts section.
Chemistry: same as Physics.
Economics: 1 for Paper 3 (MCQ), 1 for Paper 4 (Case Study and Essay). A lot of my Economics material is online, though.
English: 1 for Paper 3 (Text and Discourse analysis), and 2 for Paper 4 (Language Topics, which includes 1 for Child Language Acquisition, 1 for World Englishes). Past papers, handouts, and notes all go under their respective topics.
Mathematics: I just keep everything together because I never revise math and just constantly do past papers.
This makes it easier for me to revise each subject because I can just take one binder with me instead of a messy folder with everything just shoved in there.
I keep a magazine file for each of my A-Level subjects (English and Mathematics are combined). All my textbooks, revision guides, and subject notebooks are kept here, so if I need to revise one subject, that’s the magazine file I’ll take out.
These magazine files prevent any small things (like my book of flashcards) from being shoved to the back of my bookshelf, or materials from different subjects from getting mixed up.
In my senior year, I mostly plan using this app called Edo Agenda. It syncs across all my devices for free and has all the features I need: a to do list to organize tasks, monthly and weekly calendars to organize events, a journal to organize notes and memos.
I used to bullet journal regularly, but it takes too much time during weekdays, so now I just bullet journal for the therapeutic effects it gives me, and I use an app for organizing tasks and events. Sometimes at the end of each week, I’ll transfer my tasks to my bullet journal and then decorate the page, but again, this is just for its therapy.
Organizing your school supplies is just as important as organizing your papers and notes. With a more organized backpack and pencil case, you won’t waste time looking for your things at the bottom of an abyss.
Pencil Case
I don’t find it necessary to bring so much stationery to school unless I plan on making notes at school (usually during revision week).
Backpack
Because we’re already in the revision term, I don’t really carry a lot of things in my everyday backpack, just the following:
Pencil case
Everything Notebook
Everything Folder
Revision notebook
Kindle
Phone
Wallet
Earphones
Calculator
Speaker
Drinking bottle
A pouch with things like a hairbrush, pads, and lip balm
And that’s all for now! I hope this post will help you organize your school life (if you haven’t already) or at least provide some useful insights on some ways to stay organized as a high school student.
child handling for the childless nurse
My current job has me working with children, which is kind of a weird shock after years in environments where a “young” patient is 40 years old. Here’s my impressions so far:
Birth - 1 year: Essentially a small cute animal. Handle accordingly; gently and affectionately, but relying heavily on the caregivers and with no real expectation of cooperation.
Age 1 - 2: Hates you. Hates you so much. You can smile, you can coo, you can attempt to soothe; they hate you anyway, because you’re a stranger and you’re scary and you’re touching them. There’s no winning this so just get it over with as quickly and non-traumatically as possible.
Age 3 - 5: Nervous around medical things, but possible to soothe. Easily upset, but also easily distracted from the thing that upset them. Smartphone cartoons and “who wants a sticker?!!?!?” are key management techniques.
Age 6 - 10: Really cool, actually. I did not realize kids were this cool. Around this age they tend to be fairly outgoing, and super curious and eager to learn. Absolutely do not babytalk; instead, flatter them with how grown-up they are, teach them some Fun Gross Medical Facts, and introduce potentially frightening experiences with “hey, you want to see something really cool?”
Age 11 - 14: Extremely variable. Can be very childish or very mature, or rapidly switch from one mode to the other. At this point you can almost treat them as an adult, just… a really sensitive and unpredictable adult. Do not, under any circumstances, offer stickers. (But they might grab one out of the bin anyway.)
Age 15 - 18: Basically an adult with severely limited life experience. Treat as an adult who needs a little extra education with their care. Keep parents out of the room as much as possible, unless the kid wants them there. At this point you can go ahead and offer stickers again, because they’ll probably think it’s funny. And they’ll want one. Deep down, everyone wants a sticker.
Some helpful pointers to keep in mind when volunteering at the children’s hospital :)
13 test taking tips
1. Eliminate answers you know are not right 2. WHO WILL DIE FIRST? An yourself this question with priority questions. Who needs immediate attention? 3. How to answer ‘what do you do first’ questions - first think about your ABCs but pay attention to the question because airway is not always the answer. A patent Airway is definitely important, but giving oxygen is not always the solution. Also, what is the simplest thing you can do right now. More then likely a,b,c, and do are all correct answers so put them in order in your head. 4.‘priority questions’ - think about your ABCs and pain. 5. Do not change your answer answer; usually your first choice is the right one, unless you misread the question. 6. Double check to make sure that you have copied the math problem correctly from the test. 7. Look at the central idea of each question. What is the main point question mark site exactly what the question is asking; 1 response is clearly best. 8. Statements that begin with always, never, done, except, most, or least are probably NOT the answer. 9. Examine all answer choices, are three similar while one is different? 10. Find the keywords or phrase in the question that will help you choose the correct answer. 11. If the test requires you to read passages and then answer a question, read the question first. By doing this, you will know you’re looking for as you read. 12. Remember, your first guess is usually right. 13. Psychosocial and psychological questions are sometimes asked in nursing. The answer usually relates to restating the patient’s feelings are asking open-ended questions. Example, tell me how you feel? Or share what you know about the procedure you are having today.
This is not definite but can offer assistance with taking exams. All 13 items do not apply to every test but every item can assist with evaluating questions.
I received this from one of my nursing instructors, and thought it was valuable enough to pass on!!

New nurses, student nurses
I need you to know these things.
This job is hard. It’s hard as a student, learning things most people will never understand. It’s hard as a brand new nurse; no patient or seasoned nurse truly has faith in you.
You want to learn. You want to know things. You want to get to the point in your job where you are comfortable in your skills, the patients trust you, and the doctors start to know your name and believe in your abilities.
It takes time. The first year of nursing will be the hardest year of your life and you will find yourself truly doubting your intelligence and intellect for the first time ever. You will make mistakes, second guess yourself, cry after work, cry during work, cry before work. You will triumph, and you will fail miserably.
But with literally every single moment of every single day, you will learn so much more than you’ve ever learned in your entire life combined. You will learn about human suffering, joy, love, sorrow, insanity, and pain. You will experience moments that will haunt you forever. Moments you will bury down deep inside because the people closest to you could never understand.
Student nurses, stay with it. You aren’t there yet. School is hard. It does get harder. But it also gets better.
I was a student. Nursing school was the hardest thing I had ever done up to that point. I will not downplay that. Ever. It is so hard.
But then I was a new nurse. And it was harder. I experienced things that will haunt me to the grave. I was bullied by patients, doctors, and nurses.
I’m still learning. I’m still a baby nurse. But I’ve got a bit of time and a little experience under my belt now. I’ve been a nurse in the burn ICU, a med-surg nurse, and now a bone marrow transplant/oncology nurse. I’ve dealt with nurse bullies, bully doctors, and abusive patients and families. I’ve seen all kinds of sickness, I’ve welcomed new life, and I’ve held countless hands as their pulses faded away.
I’m here to tell you, student nurses, new nurses, that this job is hard. It is cruel and unforgiving at times.
But it is so worth it. It may get harder, but it will get easier as time goes on. The bonds you form with patients, doctors, and fellow nurses will bring you through it.
You knew it would be difficult when you chose such a selfless profession. This job takes heart. It takes a special kind of person that was meant to heal this harsh world.
Stay with it. It gets so much better. It is rewarding. We are here and we want you to succeed. Forget the nurse bullies, forget the bad. You are a guardian angel and you chose this noble path.
Thank you student nurses, thank you new nurses. I was there, not long ago. If I could go back and do it again, I would in a heartbeat. Because I am right where I want to be.
Last Biology notes of this term. Ready for finals🌿
