How do you study for nursing classes without being overworked or falling behind? Also, How do you know a field is best fit for you?
I am a senior in High School Committed to Marquette University for nursing. I have taken 5 AP's over the course of my high school career and received a medical internship that introduced me to the medical field. I really enjoy my medical classes and love studying for them. However, I do struggle with studying for AP chem because there is just so much material. Lately, I have loved learning about cancer due to my medical class, and neuro because of my mother's recent diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis.

Hello Kenna,
Your inquiry has gone through my weekly mail. It’s completely normal to feel uncertain about your future—most professionals didn’t have it all figured out at your age. It's very important that you have decided on the University, which is a great work that you have done by researching the best one for your career. Rejections, mistakes, or changes in direction aren’t failures—they’re feedback. Each challenge teaches you something about yourself and the world of work. The most successful people you admire have faced setbacks, too; what made them stand out was persistence and the ability to learn from each experience. My suggestions are shallow like the song of Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper :-) And please come back again to Career Village for questions like this. Even though I have left behind the schooling time, I am now a professional in my job I am giving some advice for study strategies:
Core Study Strategies:
Active Recall: Instead of rereading notes, test yourself. Close the book and try to explain the concept in your own words.
Spaced Repetition: Review material at increasing intervals (e.g., 1 day, 3 days, 1 week). Apps like Anki or Quizlet make this easy.
Pomodoro Technique: Study in focused 25–30 minute blocks, then take a 5-minute break. After 4 rounds, take a longer break.
Interleaving: Mix subjects or topics in one study session. It helps your brain learn to switch and connect ideas.
Confidence isn’t something you’re born with—it’s built by trying, failing, and trying again. Every time you step outside your comfort zone, you grow. Stay updated with my peers' suggestions, who are experts in the field that you are studying. Hope it helps. Good Luck!
Hope it helps. Good luck.
