I need some encouragement. Med surg 3 rant

[Cocochic]

I'm currently in the lpn program and I'm having a horrible time. I'm practically teaching myself med surg because my teachers just read from the PowerPoint or book. When we have quizzes it's like high school work then test time it's like the nclex. They don't teach how to answer the questions. The whole class is failing

And don't get me started with clinicals....my instructor was no help but she criticized everything we did wrong.

Now im failing and I probably have to take med surg 3 over. I work the evening shift at the hospital but I can't concentrate there when doing homework. I really need some encouragement.

I suggest you get an NCLEX book to help you learn NCLEX style questions. What does the teacher test over? Is everything on the test in the Powerpoint? If she is saying extra stuff in class besides whats on the Powerpoint then I suggest you record the lecture because it could be stuff you will be tested over.
