Hello Nursing Core Term 3 👋🏾 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today was my second orientation to this new term where I’ll be talking Mental Health and Health and Physical Assessment in Nursing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Compared to my classes last term These two classes should be a little easier! Personally I always get super anxious when starting a new term just because I never know what to expect. But I’m excited to see what this semester holds 📚 📖 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What classes are y’all taking this term/semester?👇🏾 (at Carrollton, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpm8Vs_hnya/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rz8zg1n9hwrp

My #fundamentalsofnursing class is finally over! I got a 95% on my final today and ended the class with an A! 🎉 I contemplated getting started on the ATI modules for next term after margaritas with classmates this afternoon but decided to nap and then make cute binder covers while binge watching Netflix.

Yesterday I told a friend at my nursing school how I used to be super religious about working out and how I’m going to start being more consistent next term because I’ll have a morning schedule and the rest of the day open and he literally laughed in my face 🙄 so instead of sulking around and making excuses of how he was probably right, I went on a run last night >> negativity to positivity my friends << (at Carrollton, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmR9iiPh2u2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19ofteqg3u4os

Time to take studying to the next level this term. I just finished Fundamentals of Nursing with an A! 🎉 but I ALLL already eager to start Med/Surg and Pharmacology for my next term on August 20th. #apple has a educational promotion going on for students regarding the iPad Pro the Apple Pencil and beats headphones! It was a little pricey still for a broke nursing student but you have to INVEST in yourself right?! Already downloaded the #goodnotesapp and started taking notes on my ATI modules and I LOVE it! Let me know if you guys want to see some of them! 🌟 https://www.instagram.com/p/BmO0UibhPcG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13vwlqeu9he5l

Took my first test of the term today and did really well! Even when I do better than I expect for some reason I still feel very anxious and overwhelmed like post residual stress - if that is even a thing 😂 but I took a break and went to workout after my class ended . A simple hour of sweating and jamming to my favorite music and doing anything except for studying felt really good. How do y’all unwind after a stressful day?

Awkward smiles because I have no idea how I’m gunna survive #medsurg and #pharmacology this term ... but I worked out and feel energized for MAYBE an hour of studying before bed. It’s the little victories (at Carrollton, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmzt7wfAHsA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lvpmzrk118je

NURSING/MED/COLLEGE friends.. HOW DO YOU TAKE NOTES? So this semester I am taking Medical/Surgical Nursing and Pharmacology. Personally I am a visual and kinesthetic learner. I do very well when things are color coordinated and I find that I remember things easier when I re-write them. Last term in fundamentals I found that I was using up so much paper and I could never find the right ones that I was looking for so I decided to hop on the train and use the iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil. I have the 9.7’’ iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil and I use the #Goodnotes app to take all of my notes Here’s a short clip of the video I made of how I take notes. I also have one explaining how the app works and what it looks like so let me know if you guys wanna see that!
