Some tips for Adult II So here are a few tips based on what I’ve experienced and what I’ve witnessed working well for others: I highly encourage you to read, write, and speak your notes out loud.  Multiple studies  exist that prove learning is multi-sensory. If you're into essential oils, that would be a great way to incorporate smell into the mix as well. There are also numerous studies showing a direct correlation between the olfactory system and learning. Studying with a certain smell, say peppermint, and then incorporating that smell when it’s time to test, improves recall. It’s worked for me anyway!

ATI Pharmacology for NCLEX As the header suggests, the following is a gem of a post I found over at Allnurses.com  and thought I'd share. Many of us are plowing through an Associates program with no Pharmacology course. So, it's up to us to spend the extra time necessary to learn Pharmacology if we expect to pass the NCLEX.  The credit goes to  About ♪♫ in my ♥ for putting this enormous project together.

Simply click on the category to go to the download..... - Overview - Anti...
