- Happy new year friends! Today's video is for all my viewers who are just starting nursing school (or currently in nursing school or even school in general) and were wanting tips on how I take notes! I’m taking yall along my note-taking routine before, during, and after lectures. I hope yall enjoy this video and can hopefully incorporate some tips into your routine!
As my professors’ PowerPoints are confidential, I created the demo PowerPoint for the purpose of this video.
The med-surg book I'm using is: Medical-Surgical Nursing: Concepts for Interprofessional Collaborative Care (9th ed.) by Donna D. Ignatavicius.
Thank you for supporting my channel. Wishing you all well in this new year! Stay safe and warm :)
xoxo,
steph

yayyyyyyyy i’m so exited :)

@@KiniaSwaby congratsss 💜💜💜
@@clah2 Thanks girl good luck to you as well if you are going and push on if your in it.
Next week :) any tips?
As a nursing student, I watched tons of RUclips videos about note taking from iPad to hand writing. I also tried to use Word but, your note-taking way is the least time consuming and looks very organized. I will do your way. Thank you for uploading!
most of this is busy work. You already have the textbook and slides, keep notes to YOUR thoughts and tips. Time better spent on practice questions / flashcards.
I’ve never seen someone study the way that I do! Omg 🥰
I have ADHD so I have to be very organized like this or else I lose track and get overwhelmed
I'm a premed student and this is the best note-taking method that I've seen, it has really saved my life, so thank you sooo much for showing this🥰😁
I just did this for the first exam in my A&P I class. It worked great! Especially pulling notes from PP, lectures and the book. Thank you!
I would love for this to work for me but my lectures slide numbers are in the 50's. I would be clicking, copying, and pasting for days. I Love your notes.
Thank you !!! I really needed some guidance in being efficient with note taking. Not in nursing, but I'm a student Physical Therapist Assistant and like you mentioned, still very helpful !!!
This method is actually kind of unique in its own way! I’m gonna try it tomorrow and will let you know how I like it!!
Update: So it does take some time at least for me due to having around 30-60 at most slides depending on the class + formatting the bullets the way I want it (45 min- 1 hour) However once I’m done it definitely is so much easier to use for annotation of notes than looking at the slides!
I personally use GoodNotes 5 rather than printing it out since I don’t have access to a printer all the time unless I’m at my university
AAHH! I’ve been waiting for this video!! I start nursing school next Monday, so nervous but excited!!!
Thank goodness i made it in time with uploading the video before you started school! You’re going to do great in nursing school, im rooting for you!! 💪🏼♥️
It’s My second year of nursing school - I start in two months- never did my notes like this- I feel it’s a lot to do.
how did you make notes/study material in the past?
@@stelo1558 The teacher will send us the powerpoint so then ill add more stuff do it. and i used my ipad to write anything Important in class. instead of printing papers it will be saved on a file. Plus i work full time so it was easier for me.
@@maryb4472 must be nice. Our teacher only gives us an outline.
@@bonsaibaby8257 same
@@maryb4472 None of my professors give us an outline nor a PowerPoint. We just have to show up to class and they teach by talking. No presentations no nothing. So this is a good video to format notes
Thank you so much for this video. I have this exact book for my current course. I’m in my first semester and I’m still trying to figure out what works. Some of my professors give the power point before. However when they don’t. I’m just all over the place.
I'm not starting nursing school till another 3 years but I'm gonna apply this stuff to my 6th form and community college studies. Thankyou:)
This was so calming thank you so much !! Really made me motivated to do my school work
This video is so helpful! It is neat and pretty to look at, while not being TO overkill (Im lazy LOL). I'm going into my 3rd semester and I think this is really going to help me retain the information more. Love this!!
THIS IS THE BEST NOTE-TAKING VIDEO I HAVE SEEN HERE!!! WOW! Thank you so much for sharing.
Perfect balance bw time, information, aesthetics......❤❤❤
As someone who is still experimenting with different methods this is truly helpful .. thanks
I wish I had taken notes like this! Haha I’m about to graduate and I felt like I did not do enough notes, but I have such crappy handwriting that it’s hard to want to do! Good job and good luck on your journey! Its gonna be stressful but worth it! ❤️
Was it hard being a nursing student? I am currently a high school student at the moment and looking forward to going to a 2 year community college and am curious about RN.
You just solved my PDF-hatred student problem from YEARS! THANK YOU!
Your notes are so organized and look so good too! I start my prerequisites for nursing school this fall and I think this will help me so much! Thank you!! Good luck in your nursing career! ❤
very nice video, similar to how i did things in my first semester for my pathopharm class. i was very successful. I will apply some of your tips for my future classes
i'm in my third year of nursing school, It's so nice seeing someone at the same path as myself - love your videos, happy new years ❤
hiya welcome! yess i love meeting fellow nursing students as well! we all share the same passion for nursing and it's very encouraging ♥️good luck with your new semester!
omg I’m about to start nursing school in 2 DAYS so thank you sm for uploading this 🥺😭💖💖
Im glad i was able to get this video out in time! You got this, im cheering for you!! 🥳 good luck tomorrow ♥️
Good luck❤❤
This is amazing! I'm going to start taking my notes like this starting today. Thank you!
staring nursing school fall 2024, i’m so nervous yet so excited !!
Omg!! This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much!!!
I have that book, and my first lecture in med surg 3 is Neuro, but I am so jealous your sides have 11 and ours has 102 😭🤣 definitely love this video. Thank you.
Ohhh no my lecture slides are a lot longer! This was a demo powerpoint for the sake of the video 😄 good luck with med surg, you got this!! 💪🏼
This video came just in time!! I start nursing school today! Thank you!
I hope your first day of nursing school went well! 😊 im rooting for you! ♥️
I will be giving this a try for my last two weeks of fundamentals! thank you !!
I was just rewatching your YT videos and got super excited when I received a notification of a new video!! ❤️
Hehe what great timing! 😄 thank you for patiently waiting ♥️♥️
This was very relaxing, great note taking, your notes look very organized and informative and eye-catching!👌
I must try this for my chemistry class ☺️
I hope it works! 😊 good luck in the new semester!
Wow love this!!! Definitely going to try this for my upcoming exam!! Thank you so much ❤️❤️
This is my new favorite way of taking notes - thank you!
Very organized and colorful, I will incorporate some of your techniques into my studying /reviewing.
UPDATE 3 MONTHS LATER: Been doing some of the color/notes/highlights and definitely helps for med surge. Thank you ! Sadly I don't print d/t time restraints 😅
So helpful thank you!!
How long would you say it typically takes you to do a set of notes fleshed out like this?
Study for something you're can learn effectively with method read with notes instead .. Surely beside of understand hypothetical for final result you can learns increases creatively.. I've easy remembered on learn ..
In nursing school currently and I do the same thing with my notes! keep up the good work!
can you please show how you take notes on patho/pharmcology class
I'm a nursing student and i really proud of you.❤️ beacuse this video is amazing 😍
I love this! I have been trying to figure out a way to turn my PowerPoints into notes that were not in the slide format.
YOU’RE A LIFE SAVER!!!!!
Do you print back to back? How do you study your notes? What are the stuff you put on the left side? Also how often do you study your notes? Hoping for an answer thx
This helps a lot! Thank you! 🙏🏼
This will be a good way for my study guide. but in order for me to retain information i have to write everything out sadly.
so helpful, thank you so much!!
I wish this video had been around in 2018 and 2019 when I was still in A and P. I had to change my major because I couldn't get into the nursing program and A and P were prerequisites. I'm going for preschool teaching now
2:32 - great tip, thanks!
Hello, thank you so much for this video. I think a lot of your study habits may be very similar to mine so I am going to try these out. I have trouble retaining the information from the textbook as I have trouble determining which are the important sentences to take away. Any tips for when you read your textbook and transfer those notes to your paper in the L column or sticky notes, how do you determine what is the information that goes there? Thank you.
I just read the pp over and over i havent took 1 single note my first year in nursing and ive gotten all in 90s on my tests for some reason the reading over amd over for me and not taking a single note is working for me lol
thank you sooo much I learned a lot from this vid! 💚💚💚💚💚
bRAND OF THE PENS PLEASEEE💖💖💖💖
Nice notes! Could you post step by step instruction on how to create these notes?
Hey, when taking notes from the book do you read the whole chapter, or try to focus primarily on what is on the lecture notes
I focus mainly on the lecture notes! My prof likes to add in "see pg." or "see chart/table" so I definitely want to take a look at those. If your professor's lecture notes are pretty sparse, then I would go ahead and read the whole chapter! :)
Nice, do you do this for every chapter. It seems like so much to study for one chapter.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing! How do you usually study with your notes after you complete them? Or study in general. I'm in my 2nd semester of nursing school and am having a difficult time with Med-Surg and OB, I'm trying new note taking methods though so I'm hoping that will help!
Wish I could be this organized
girl how did you do i just started second semester!!!
@@leylanat914 I passed both, I did better in med-surg tho but that's the class that puts some foundation in your critical care course you'll have
@stephxoxo can you explain your color coding/highlighting/bolding process? How do you decide what to do any of those?
Back on grind.....all the best for your next sem 🥰😇
Yes unfortunately the grind never ends 😅 thank you for your encouraging words, i’ll work hard this semester!! 💪🏼♥️
this is helpful. How would you do this in a handwritten way ?
Thank you @stephxoxo . I am first year nursing student and thank you for saving my life and sharing great video note taking because i was there is gotta be some way i can good note using powerpoint and actually understand material
start monday
Good luck on your first day!! Work hard but dont forget to rest! Im cheering for you 🥳♥️
Great insight. Loving all of the color coding. Ha. Definitely one of the ways we studied. Oh, and I personally did mine with gummy bears😩😂
I'm following you from Egypt. I love watching your videos. What apps do you use for studying?
I see that book and it gives me nightmares. I went into a program in 2022 and failed med surg. I also have dyslexia. This would have been so helpful as I wouldn’t have had to take notes and try to listen in class. When you say formatting (as you can see I’m of illiterate as well), what program is that?
Why am I scared to highlight in my books 😅. Does anyone highlight words in their books ?
I have to hand write everything. I soak up information better that way
woww! thank you!
Fantastic
If the PP has extra information in the notes portion of a slide, how would you put them into the text box of the word doc?
What pens do you use/what are your favourite pens?? xx
@stephxoxo if you didn't have the PowerPoint before lecture and your professors don't record lectures how would you take notes in that situation?
This was extremely helpful ❤❤
I'm in nursing school as well and I'm starting med surg courses this semester, so I will definitely try out your note-taking and study method.
Good luck in med surg! ♥️ the amount of material may be intimidating at first but if you tackle each topic one at a time then you will do great! Im rooting for you!! 💪🏼
@@stephxoxo thank you ❤️
Hi! I am trying to figure out what application you use to copy & paste your notes on? Im unable to tell unless I missed it somewhere lol Thanks
What type of pens do you use? I am so bored with using regular ballpoint pens because they don't write as smooth and my notes don't look as aesthetically pleasing.
I was like this in nursing school haha, nice video!
Thank you! 😄
can you give any tips on studying anatomy 2?
hi i want to ask, did u use active recall to study for exam? if yes how do you collaborate this way of taking notes with active recall? thanks in advance!!
How did you make your screen side by side ?
What kind of pens do you use?
All the best for the next sem...........................
Thank you for the encouraging words! I’ll work hard 💪🏼♥️
What are the pens that you used? Do they last long? 😭
hiiii this is so inspritational!! what year are you currently in for nursing school?
Im starting my senior year this semester! 😊
Hi , I really love your videos and a new subscriber 🥰 I was wondering , when you study, how many hours a day or how much time do you make to study and remain very organize? I am preparing myself when i start nursing school this month.
Hiya welcome! 😊 It varies depending on the day! If I have an entire day free, then I can study for about 10 hours (with breaks of course). I prefer waking up early to study rather than staying up late. Once it hits ~7pm my brain starts shutting down 😂 typically I leave 2 days to gather notes from the textbook and 2 days to review all material!
@@stephxoxoThankyou, that is very good to know, I need to try that as well.! I really enjoy your videos so much.! 😁💖🌸
Hehe thank you ♥️ good luck with nursing school as well! 💪🏼 it’s tough but totally worth it!
@@stephxoxo thank you so much, you also keep up the good work.!! You will be an amazing nurse 💖
Thank you so much for the video! ☺️ By chance, for certain classes-and if so which ones-do you ever try to test yourself with NCLEX style questions?
I’m not sure if I’ve been practicing with real NCLEX style questions since I found them online, but I did practice problems for Patho, Assessment, Concepts and Med Surg! Practicing questions helped me apply the material I learned in class to real life scenarios!
@@stephxoxo where do you find those practice questions. Awesome video!!
I do practice quizzes from registerednursern.com as well as testbankgo.eu! These 2 sites were the most helpful for me 😊
@@stephxoxo Thanks so much💕
me not in nursing, but great video sis
My professors just read from the power point bullets that they have and from the book during lectures. They add their own experiences but there's never any extra input really. Idk if that's normal or not but they don't really emphasize anything they say we need to know all of it. Does anyone have professors like this?
I’ve definitely had professors like this! For them, I usually just study everything on the powerpoints. It’s nice when profs can hint at potential exam questions but that isn’t always the case 😅
@@stephxoxoThat's exactly it! They usually copy and paste the book paragraphs and the book images. Of course we ask for specifics and they just say everything lol. It's pretty overwhelming 😂 But info read the chapters and take notes before lectures so I'm not completely lost I try to make the connections before exams 😬
That’s a great way to study! I wish I had the determination like you to read before lectures but I try to do the bare minimum haha 😅
@@stephxoxo lol as long as we know the information before exams right lol
After a while I star admiring my own handwriting 😭😏💭 great 😊 video I do something similar to this great video
What pen do you use often?
Pilot G2 pens are my favorite! I use black ink the most but when writing notes, I love using rainbow colors!
❤️
Impressive
What ink pens are you using?
I’m using pilot g2 gel pens 0.7mm! 😊
@@stephxoxo thanks so much! I appreciate your videos. I start med surg Monday and will be using the same book
@@raregem3619 Good luck in med surg!! It may seem intimidating at first but if you tackle one section at a time, then you’ll do great! 💪🏼
@@stephxoxo thank you for the encouragement 🤗😊
❤❤👍🏾👍🏾
please sell your notes!!! I'll buy them
😯😯😯
Hello. Your content was instructional. I have been trying to find for a vid similar to yours that educates everything in this RUclips vid! 👨⚕️ The part at 1:28 is my favorite. Your lesson is similar to the videos of Doctor Ethan! Doctor's videos are knowledgable and I really learned a lot for school!
I suggest you see his channel out and give the med student a like! ➡️ #DrEthanEducation
Can you put step by step how you do this l love this concept I'm also a visual learner I would love to do this is this done on a laptop
