    Hello All,

    Reaching out to students that have a hard time not getting straight A's.

    Here's my situation- I am a bridge student (LVN-ADN). Currently doing the role transitions class. This class is suppose to be more of a review of LVN school sprinkled with new information as we move toward the RN role. I graduated my previous program and took NCLEX toward the end of 2011.

    With this, I feel that since I am somewhat recent out of school that I should be able to maintain good grades. First exam I received an A, but yesterday midterm I revived a low B:-( All questions were scenario based and I studied like crazy. A "B" would not normally get me down so much, but this early in the game is scary.

    Does anyone have any suggestions of study material (beside practice NCLEX that I do daily) that might help me get through these type of questions? I honestly felt like I was taking NCLEX again without the 6 weeks of studying that I did then.

    Suggestions?

    Review how you are studying. When I did I found that making mind maps (concept maps) really helped me focus on what was important. This is how I started to study and my grades did improve.

    Ahh- I didn't think about using concept mapping. That will be great for med surg. Just thinking of how I can implement mapping in the role transitions class.

    Thanks so much for the suggestion:-)

    @LVN/RNBridge I'm really curious if your 100% positive that LVN 30 unit option and RN CA license will look the same?

    Great question! I'm not sure exactly how the card looks for a 30-unit RN. I only know that Ca. Is the only state that still offers these programs with other states not accepting RN's that take the 30-unit option. Best to contact the BRN for the exact details.
