How To Start Preparing For Class

With help from NurseHub, you can start your semester off on the right foot––before you even step into the classroom. Check out the first video in the Preparing for Class series: Introduction to Preparing for Class. In this on-demand course, NurseHub’s Reading Content Development Manager, Nicole will walk you through crucial keys to preparing for nursing classes, including:

  • How to use your syllabus to set yourself up for success
  • Which reading strategies can support pre-reading
  • How to approach note-taking before and during class

And Nicole doesn’t just tell you how to do it. Nicole actually shows you––with real-life examples you can start using now to get ready for your next nursing course. With these skills in your nurse bag, you will make the most of your time spent in class.

Syllabus Studies

Your class syllabus is a guidebook. That’s why you need to know exactly how to read and use it. Lessons one and two in this course show you how to use your syllabus to plan out your semester. Trust me, you don’t want to miss this information.

Active Reading and Note-Taking

Active reading and good note-taking are the next keys to preparing for class that students will learn or review in NurseHub’s new course. In lesson three, you will see how to take notes that will actually help your focus, memory, creativity, and engagement. Then in lesson four, you learn how to read actively.

Preparing for Class Wrap-Up

In the course wrap-up, Nicole gives students final tips to prepare for class. You’ll also learn how to get ongoing help and support as the year and nursing courses progress. 

How Long Should I Prepare for Class?

Before the semester starts, you should start preparing as early as you can. The more time you put into getting ready, the better off you will be when official instruction starts. 

 

When class starts, nursing students should spend between 2–4 hours each day studying. Active listening and effective note-taking can help you master your material faster.

You’ll get the chance to find your personal learning style and create study habits that work best for you.
