It’s officially summer! Is it possible to enjoy your summer while being in nursing school? Yes!

Here are three tips to make the most of the next few months:

1. Make a sandwich of your study time. Study for a time, then do something enjoyable for a time, and then return to studying. For example—set a timer and study for twenty minutes, then listen to your favorite music for 15 minutes, and then return to studying for 20 minutes. Give yourself a brief quiz for the final 5 minutes to see what you remember from studying.

2. Record yourself reading a chapter and listen to it while on the beach or anywhere!

3. Have a watch party or study get-together with friends virtually. Eat and spend an hour watching a recorded lecture or answering practice questions from the book chapters, ATI, PrepU, etc. Remember to take a brief break in between and enjoy yourselves!
