Feeling overwhelmed trying to keep up with nursing school lectures, clinicals, and exams while balancing work and life? You’re not alone! 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. I’ll even cover when to review lectures, how to use Picmonic and Anki flashcards effectively, and how to prep for exams without cramming.

💡 Want even more study strategies? Be sure to listen to Season 4, Episode 9: "My Insanely Effective Study System", where I break down the exact methods I used to master nursing school content and ace my exams.
