have difficulty with "coordination" type skills? I don't have any problem with the "book stuff", but for me to learn a "skill" (to nursing standards for checkoff purposes) is very difficult. Frankly, I am almost "learning disabled" in this area. If I was having trouble in A&P or Microbiology, I would have MANY ideas for improving my odds (such as hiring a tutor, buying various software, study guides, web sites ect). However, with the actual "checkoff" skills I don't really have too many ideas. I have taken a CNA course, and plan on viewing some skills tapes over the Summer. I am also "pre-reading" my text books so that I can focus more time on the skills than the academics next Fall. Few people I've spoken to about this can relate at all to my situation since MOST people find the "competencies and skills" easy in comparison to the academics. Does anyone else have anything else that they have read about working for other people "slow" in this area?
