Hi everyone!

My name is Maraam and I am currently a BSN student at Chamberlain University. I started this page to showcase my journey throughout nursing school and to share my passion for the healthcare field with you all! I want to use this platform to not only spread positivity but to help others, make valuable connections, and share my day to day life as a nursing student.

As a BSN student, one’s passion must align with their studies. If that passion is nonexistent, lack of motivation will be existent. I am here to share with you all my passion and motivation for nursing and I hope I can inspire each and every one of you to go out there and chase your dreams!

xoxo Maraam

Always feel free to reach out to me, I’d love to connect with you.

Nursing School Essentials

Items I use everyday at school

iPad 2019 (7th Generation)

I use my iPad to take notes in lecture, edit PowerPoint slides, download my textbooks, and more! It helps me stay organized and keeps all my necessary materials in one place.

Apple Pencil (1st Generation)

Apple Pencil helps me take notes neatly and allows me to highlight text and edit text in fine print.

Apple Pencil Grip

This might seem like a silly item but I promise it has been such a huge help! The silicone grip is great and allows me to take notes and use the pencil more comfortably.

Apple Watch Series 4

My Apple Watch helps me keep track of my daily activities and goals. I count on it to hold me accountable for my daily workouts, and use it for any necessary reminders throughout my busy day as a nursing student!

Laptop (Lenovo IdeaPad)

My laptop is super essential for me to stay on top of emails, papers, reports, and more projects. It is also an additional screen which helps me with studying. This allows me to open my textbook on my laptop while I take notes on my iPad for instance.

Book Stand

This right here... my best investment yet! This book stand is the best ever. I love using it when studying, taking notes, reading, etc. It is very durable and strong. If it can handle my 1100 page A&P hardcover textbook, it can withstand a lot!

Academic Planner

Every school year, I purchase a new planner and I am very specific with my requirements. I need it to be a certain size, have a specific format, etc. I use my planner to coordinate everything as a student. From exams to study dates with friends, owning a planner helps me stay organized and on top of my work! This is the one I am using for this academic year of 2020-2021.

Sipa SR153 Pens

These are my absolute FAVORITE pens ever! The ink hasn’t dried out yet and I’ve been using them for over 2 years. The colors are great and translate beautifully on paper for note taking and in my planner.

Porous Fine Point Pens Markers

Pilot G2 Pens

Although I do take majority of my lecture notes on my iPad, I still take notes on paper here and there & these are such a staple for pens! The gel writes so neatly and the variety of colors are great to color code items and stay organized — especially when writing on my calendar and in my planner.
