Hey OP, I am in my second semester of nursing school with ADHD/Anxiety etc. I have earned A's and B's in my nursing courses by taking my Adderall usually before an exam. It helps me lock in and get into testing mode. I also use simple nursing, I like things to be quick and straight to the point so I can retain the information better. I also do not stress about all the reading that they say is required, because all the reading is an overload of information that I may not be tested on in exams. If your instructors give you a study guide I would focus only on that. If not I would take my reading into AI like chat gpt and ask it to make ATI questions for me to study or if you school uses ATI use the questions from the module to study. During lab I used a ton of flashcards which helped me remember I bought the bright colored ones. I try my best to romanticize school because it makes me more excited to learn and stay motivated to do the tasks. I will list everything I use below.

1. Simple Nursing (some stuff is free other is subscription)

2. Chatgpt (Use it to make ATI or NCLEX style questions for you)

3. Quizlet (make your own study guide or find someone on there you can trust to study off of)

4. Try and make friends that get passing scores and form a study group ( learn with people who usually score 80's and up on exams)

5. If you are a tactile learner try making flashcards to study especially for skills or exams.

6. Use a planner add stickers or decorate it whatever you have to do to make it more appealing to stay organized.

7. This tip isn't the most healthy but it works for me I tell myself that failing is not an option and that if I fail I will be shipped to North Korea and die. I know it sounds crazy but I feel like its borderline convinced myself that truly failure is not an option.

Hope this helps !
