Back to school just got a lot more expensive. As a college student, you no longer just need a few notebooks and pencils. Now you have to pay for unreasonably expensive textbooks, a new (more sophisticated) wardrobe, pots and pans, rent, and what else? A laptop? A tablet? What expensive electronic device do you actually need for college? It's a very good question. The answer? Well, it depends...

Most nurses work in hospitals, and there are hospitals all around the world as well. This means that if you become a nurse, you most likely will be able to find a job anywhere you want to live. Essentially, you will not have to move somewhere new because of your job. This is a big perk for many people who decide to go to nursing school.

First, what is your favorite note-taking style? A lot of the younger generation now prefers to type out notes rather than writing them by hand with paper and pen. It's faster, more organized, legible, and easily stored. But there are still plenty of people out there who prefer note-taking on paper.

For them, writing out by hand helps with memory, and there is usually more room for creativity (arrows and underlines and doodles that help connect ideas).

If you write down your important assignments and test dates, there is a smaller chance that you will postpone, procrastinate, or forget about these dates. Forgetting about the due date of a major assignment can be detrimental to your grade; this is why writing due dates down at the beginning of the semester is so important.

Another way to be a great nursing student is to take great notes. Sometimes it can be difficult to pay rapt attention in lecture. Sometimes you are tired or hungry or your teacher is just boring. Although you could probably come up with dozens of excuses not to pay attention, you should still try your hardest to pay attention.

Third, much of what you use your tablet for will be determined by the nature of your studies/major. Tablets are great for some disciplines, and not so necessary for others. Of course tablets can always be made useful, but fields that are more visual (art history, advertising, or certain medical specialties programs) would be greatly enhanced by tablets whereas fields like math or political science might not need the specific capabilities of tablets quite as much. So think, is my medical specialties degree or journalism degree going to require the benefits of tablet? If yes, go for it! If you're unsure, wait a little bit and see how things pan out.

Another suggestion to get one through their degree program is to take time to remember why one is doing what they are doing. By understanding that upon completion of the degree and following graduation one will be able to better support their family and give extra benefits to the entire family, they will be better able to persevere through the more difficult times.

So remember, self-reflect, experiment, and save yourself a lot of money and frustration by picking the tablet fit for you!
