Last semester x2

[arose93]

Hi, Ive had this account for a while, though this is my first time using it. I thought it would nice to network with other people going through the same thing I am. Hopefully some of you can help.

I was supposed to graduate in May of 2013. Supposed to being the key phrase. I failed a few tests and needed more points than were available, and dropped out to save my GPA. Needless to say, I raised my GPA higher, and reapplied, so now I am retaking my last semester. I start on the 22nd.

I'm terrified. I remember the stress and the blood, sweat and tears. Mostly I remember the devastation of not passing. I've wanted to be a nurse since I was 10, I am now 20, and I'm terrified of the past repeating itself. I'm terrified of not making it again. Am I just psyching myself out?

If anyone has any advice it would be MUCH appreciated. I want this more than anything and I think I am letting my fears and anxiety get in the way.

You know now exactly what to expect, right? You've taken the class, you've tested on the subjects and while you didn't do well, did you remediate the exams to find out what you did wrong? How did you study last time? Was it effective or did you just not understand the subject matter? Did you do all the readings? (not ripping on your age) but did you act like a typical 19-year-old in college (I was that person, too much beer, not enough studying) so now you know you need to batten down the hatches?

You're probably psyching yourself out a little bit, however you can learn from what you did wrong last time so take a look and reevaluate how to get yourself across that stage

While I did do the reading, I probably could have actually studied the content more, and asked more questions. I've started going over the material already and I feel like I've forgotten a lot of it, as if it's new. And then every once in a while something sounds familiar. I'm hoping things start to kick back in once lecture starts.

Any study tips? I could use all the help I can get.
