The nursing student identifies a personal tendency toward procrastination. Which approach would be beneficial to this student?
1. Plan the majority of study in the two days prior to scheduled exams.
2. Plan recreational activities each week.
3. Limit reading to essential content.
4. Try to complete assigned papers in one setting.
Correct Answer: 2
Good time management requires good physical health, which requires adequate sleep, good nutrition, and recreation. The student should develop a time plan that includes keeping up with assigned readings, ongoing study throughout the course (not just before exams), and preplanning for papers and projects. Although the reading load in nursing school is heavy, the student should read everything assigned. Ideally, papers should be written, put away, and then reviewed at a later time prior to submission.
