Students Success

At the Arizona School of Nursing, becoming a successful nurse is a dream for every
student. However, not all students have the necessary habits to succeed in nursing. Students'
success at Arizona College of Nursing depend on how they engage and their outcomes after
completing their course. For a student in Arizona to become a nurse, they must undergo a series
of practical and theoretical clinical task. A nursing student's success depends on the habits they
choose over their years in school.
Successful nursing students need to manage their time well because they often handle
sensitive clinical aspects, which makes them work under pressure. According to Vizeshfar et al.
(2022), nurses spend the most time with patients within an eight-hour shift, with direct patients at
31%, indirect care at 45%, and outpatients at 24%. Therefore, nursing students need to
incorporate the habit of time management to manage their activities in school. Nursing students
need to manage their activities well, from class work to extracurricular activities, to master their
nursing school expectations.
Note-taking is another habit that medical students adopt to attain success. Illustrations
from Flanigan et al. (2023) show that health students have an increase of 3% in their academic
performance after the abolishment of computers in their lecture classes. Because of speed and
accuracy, many students take notes on their laptops rather than handwritten ones. However,
handwritten notes help the student have a good understanding of their class notes. Students with
handwritten notes find it easier to remember than those with online or computer notes.

what they wrote, depending on whether they are on notepads or online.
