    I am a 21 year old male and about to start nursing school. I've heard so much about the heavy work load and it makes me crunch my teeth..... you're videos seem to calm me down and realize that it's not impossible. Thanks again!

    Thankyou for all the tips. You are a life saver! I am currently in my first semester of nursing school and I was wondering if feeling terrible on some days was "part of the game". The courses are going so fast my head is spinning! But now I'm reassured that I can get through this! Thankyou

      You can and will get through this, it is suppose to be overwhelming, so welcome it and develop what works for you. You will be amazed at the inner strength you'll develop. Stay strong but stay focused! Hugs!

    Hi Robin, I have few things to say. 1) power points : I would say print 3slides in a page cos that way you will have empty lines on one side to write down your professor's extra information.

  • @RobinsDocumentedLife
    @RobinsDocumentedLife  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is exactly how I started off in the beginning. I ended up with a C, B, B, B, A. I ended the semester stronger than I started. That C was my reminder that this is a challenging "calling" so, how bad do I want it? No question in my answer,BAD! Him being so hard on himself can hinder him moving forward, but what's done is done, he has to just keep moving forward. My instructors tell us often, some of their best nursing graduates were C students. There's so much more to nursing than books.

  • @RobinsDocumentedLife
    @RobinsDocumentedLife  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I remember you. :) Yes, take the notes, keep them in mind and soon, you'll figure out what works best for you. I was wanting to help out with time figuring it all out.

  • @RobinsDocumentedLife
    @RobinsDocumentedLife  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Absolutely. Some of my pre-req teachers minded...not many though. Most let us. All of my nursing instructors encourage recording. Always ask first like you said! Thanks for watching!

  • @RobinsDocumentedLife
    @RobinsDocumentedLife  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I haven't done it personally yet, but I have a good friend who is in her last semester of nursing school and she has done it, so I asked her for you. She said and I quote: "Highly recommend it if it works out to be cheaper. Some teachers still reference old editions anyway." I hope this helps!

    Hi Robin. My name is Elizabeth and I just got accepted into RN school. Yay!! I am soo excited. I work in Pulmonary as a CMA and one of my coworkers told me about your videos. I have watched a few and they are wonderful. Thank you so much for them. I have a question for you. I wanted to get the Sony IC recorder you recommended and when I searched for it in Amazon it was $59 (sounds great but it was a used one). I know you said you paid $69 - was yours a used one also? Thanks Robin.

  • @latonyaspencer5798
    @latonyaspencer5798 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I have a question? Is it vital to read the whole book word for word or just the very important stuff?

    • @RobinsDocumentedLife
      @RobinsDocumentedLife  10 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      In the beginning it was just the important things, but with MedSurg, reading it all is very helpful.

  • @tuyatang8107
    @tuyatang8107 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love your videos. Could I ask you a question? English is not my first language, and I don't know if I can survive nursing school and work later. Is it need a high level of English to study the major?

  • @1217WICKED
    @1217WICKED 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm not a nursing student (yet); but in my education classes, I did have a few professors request students not record them. I graduated 2009, so not too long ago. I would just ask each professor to see if they are okay being recorded for your private study use.

  • @RobinsDocumentedLife
    @RobinsDocumentedLife  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Sometimes in pre-reqs, but not so far in nursing school, infact they all say to record and refer back to it. However, please ask each instructor first. :)

    heeelpp!!!!!! how many classes did you take per semester.
    did you work
    did you go to a university or community college
    did you have time for family

    • @RobinsDocumentedLife
      @RobinsDocumentedLife  10 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      For pre-reqs, I took 4 classes/semester. I did not work because I knew I would do better if I didn't. I am at a CC, but it's the best in our state, and I'd put it up against neighboring states...I love my school. :) I will always be a mom first. It is a very hard balance and my kids know it's temporary. I'm not going to lie...it's hard, and as supportive as my husband is, he feels left out many times too...I do the best I can. It will all be worth it. I make time for school, family and myself. Do I get straight A's anymore? No, but I'm balancing and surviving, so to me that is an A. :)

    I mean your notes. 2) I have a friend who is getting discouraged sometimes by his low grades. How can I help him stay put and don't lose hope. He was in A in the beginning of nursing semester but now C. I want him to have positive attitude and faith in himself n his study hard but he instead would not even look at the book for 2 days after the result. Everybody is different n I wish he has some of your excitement n faith.

    Have you ever heard of professors objecting to being recorded? When I was in school the first time, no one used a recorder! I'm thinking one or two of my professors had a problem with it!
