In this episode of Nursing School Week by Week , I’m giving you a step-by-step Nursing School Study Schedule —the exact system I used to get straight A’s and pass the NCLEX while working part-time and being a mom to five kids. You’ll learn: ✅ How to structure your study time to stay ahead in nursing school ✅ The biggest study mistakes that waste hours (and what to do instead) ✅ Proven study strategies that help you retain information faster ✅ How to balance nursing school with work, family, and life—without burnout This isn’t just another list of study tips—this is a full nursing school study plan that includes: 📅 A daily and weekly study schedule ⏳ Time management strategies that actually work 📝 The best study methods for long-term retention 💡 Why passive study techniques (like highlighting and re-reading) are a waste of time 💪 How to use active learning to make information stick And because I know how crucial it is to have a system in place, I’ve put together a detailed, hour-by-hour study schedule that you can tweak based on your personal workload.
