In the know: When studying, don’t do it alone

Stressed Out Nurses Weekly, April 21, 2008

We are social creatures for the most part. Though hitting the books with someone doesn't take the place of frequent, solitary study, it is a useful adjunct and can be a valuable strategy. The benefits include:

  • Having someone to urge us on when we would just as soon put it off until tomorrow.
  • Our partner(s) often give us a new perspective and prevent us from overlooking important information.
  • Trying to explain something to someone else really helps us see if we understand it.
  • Misery loves company. It often is truly a comfort to know we are not alone and are supported. This, in turn, reduces our frustration and improves our learning.

And, don't forget: Learning requires time and a plan. Daily study periods using specific strategies will guarantee success!
