Time will be needed for reading, writing papers, completing projects, undertaking research, and participating in practica. Much work will involve computer use, so you will gain some flexibility if you have a computer and internet access at home. Then again, some students may have other distractions at home, and find it more efficient to study and use the computer at a library. Regardless of where you do this work, it is important to set aside TIME to complete it. Build study into your routine .
Some people find it useful to plan the next week in detail to allow for work and other commitments.
As you plan your week, allocate specific time for study. You may want to post your weekly schedule on the refrigerator, as a reminder for you and other household members. In addition to weekly planning, students should have a semester schedule to keep abreast of academic deadlines, tests, and assignments. To assist students in this process, the School of Nursing Academic Planner and Handbook is available at the beginning of each fall semester. Study will cause changes to your routine.
