Make the most of your clinical experience with strong note-taking habits! Whether you're training to be a CNA or a CPT, clinicals move fast and your handy notes will save you from the information overload. Use shorthand or quick bullet points to jot down key procedures, instructor tips, and patient care strategies you observe and perform. Highlight anything you struggled with or want to go back to review for later. And finally, at the end of each day, take 5-10 mintues to go over your notes to reinforce what you've learned throughout the day. Trust us, staying organized will make your healthcare career way easier in the long-term. Be consistent and organized!
