Nursing | Fundamentals | Study Guides/Topic Summaries
The full fundamentals of nursing topic study guides are broken down the same way I broke down my Anatomy & Physiology study guides. I handwrite my notes, type up my notes using the course objectives, and then organize them into a PDF. There’s diagrams & images, definitions, terms, charts, reference tables, and examples.
To make the full study guides, I used my lecture and conference distance learning videos, Elsevier Evolve Essentials videos, and assigned textbooks.
Textbooks Used:

I regularly back up my notes for all my classes (including prior classes) to a Google Docs folder I made shareable: Study Guides & Resources.
Note: this is a full folder with sub-folders for different classes; topics; types of notes such as templates; reference tables & charts; full study guides; printable index cards, references, & charts; and good resources I’ve found. Over 99% of my notes are in PDF so I am able to access them on my phone, desktop, tablet, laptop, etc.
As I have more content throughout the semesters, I’ll add it to the appropriate sub-folder and make a post here.
Your purpose in life is not to love yourself but to love being yourself.
If you goal is to love yourself, then your focus is directed inward toward yourself, and you end up constantly watching yourself from the outside, disconnected, trying to summon the “correct” feelings towards yourself or fashion yourself into something you can approve of.
If your goal is to love being yourself, then your focus is directed outward towards life, on living and making decisions based on what brings you pleasure and fulfillment.
Be the subject, not the object. It doesn’t matter what you think of yourself. You are experiencing life. Life is not experiencing you.
Thank you this is the first post about self love that hasn’t made me want to throw things
