1. Finally getting clinical at the last minute (HELP)

   lalastudent posted a topic in General Students

   I was basically told that the next 2 weeks would be sink or swim for clinical (the pass/fail portion, not the papers portion) and I would start off with a clean slate. Well, this week, I improved tremendously but only on half of what was said. The da...

2. Help! On the borderline with clinicals

   lalastudent replied to lalastudent's topic in General Students

   Thanks for the suggestion! I'm also looking up care plans beforehand so I can come up with a plan as soon as she asks. I'll also bring a clipboard with a pen and all forms attached, so I can get started much more easily. I'll also have all assignment...

3. Help! On the borderline with clinicals

   lalastudent posted a topic in General Students

   I'm doing well in my academic classes so far (passing them all with Bs or more) but I'm worried I won't pass clinicals. My clinical instructor told me I was on the borderline. I asked her if I have a chance of passing and she told me "It's all up to ...

5. How do you ace tests?

   lalastudent replied to lalastudent's topic in General Students

   Thanks for the advice. Have any advice to stop myself from changing the answers I get correctly through use of logic? Should I think of every question as a patient and remind myself that if I don't take the logical (not intuitive) answer, he or she w...

   I might fail nursing school. I am failing one class so far with a 78%. To pass, you need an 84%. Does anyone have suggestions on how to ace tests? I almost always arrive at the correct solution via logic but then change my answer due to neurotic thou...

7. Help! I think I won't pass!

   lalastudent replied to lalastudent's topic in General Students

   The thing is that a lot of the time I answer the questions and get them wrong anyways directly because of what the book says. Sometimes a point is repeatedly drilled into your head and you wish to choose it on a test exam but it then turns out you're...

8. Help! I think I won't pass!

   lalastudent replied to lalastudent's topic in General Students

   Thanks for the advice! I've been using the CD for nursing fundamentals and I have found the book sometimes contradicts what is said in the CD. One question I remember from a test I got back asked what should be checked for in a patient who is in rest...

9. Help! I think I won't pass!

   lalastudent posted a topic in General Students

   I am passing 3 of my classes but unfortunately, one class has got me down. I'm getting a 77.6 percent so far and it takes an 84 to pass. If I make below an 84 in any class, I fail the first semester of nursing. Does anyone have any advice on how to s...
