5 study tips every nurse should know
- By (14 articles)
Studying effectively is very important for nurses because it will allow them to pass their exams and become excellent healthcare professionals. It is very important for nurses to study effectively as it will allow them to take in more information with less time. To help with this I have attached a few different study tips:
1. Pre-tests, Students' future learning is boosted when they practice answering questions, even badly, before understanding the subject. Pre-testing has been demonstrated to increase post-test outcomes more than studying for the same amount of time.
2. Spaced practice, It has been proven that spacing out study sessions focusing on a topic for a short length of time on different days improves retention and recall more than massed practice. According to the book How We Learn, spaced practice can be challenging because knowledge is initially forgotten, and regaining that knowledge requires work.
3. Self-quizzing, In our era of standardized testing, testing has a negative connotation, although it is a sort of active retrieval practice. Encourage students to create their own exam questions when they learn a new idea, emulating the types of questions you could ask on a quiz or test. They should include these tests in their study sessions, answering all of the questions, even if they think they already know the answers.
4. Interleaving practice, Students can use blocked practice to master a set of problems (such as multiplication problems) in a group setting. Working on a series of tasks that are related but not all of the same kind—for example, a set of arithmetic word problems that require addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division—is a more productive way of studying. The same approach cannot be used to tackle the problems in a row. This is more efficient than repeatedly solving multiplication problems.
5. Paraphrasing and reflecting, Many of us have read a few lines in a textbook only to discover that we didn't remember a single concept or essential point. Use deliberate learning tactics to demonstrate your pupils how to deal with this. These include connecting what they're learning to prior knowledge, imagining how they'd teach the material to a 5-year-old, and commenting on and questioning the material.
