@registerednursern.com: Nursing School Study Tips & Hacks, Part 4: Don't Cram! I know that it is tempting to cram for exams. Although it can help you get by in the short term, it can come back to bite you in nursing school. The reason is that nursing school content builds on itself. You not only need to learn these concepts to pass a single exam, but you'll also have final exams and proficiency exams you must pass at regular intervals. In addition, you'll have to pass the NCLEX exam once you graduate from nursing school. Therefore, if you find yourself cramming a lot, you need to go back and examine your organizational skills. You might need to block out more time to study and improve your organization. #nursingschool #nursingschoolhacks #nursingschooltips #nclex #nursingstudent #nursingschoolproblems
