How many hours per day did you typically spend studying as a nursing student?

It is entirely up to you. Do you want to learn the material or just pass the tests, finish the assignment? Are you working towards an advanced degree or ADN? When I prepared for the NCLEX, I spent 3 hours per day studying every day for 3 months. It was a lot and I was disciplined. While in school I may have studied more on some days than others. The answer is based on you and what you need - your life circumstances. THE REAL LEARNING is obtained during clinicals - pay attention and go home and study the diseases and interventions your patients were being treated for.
