Online Nutrition

[HolliMom2]

I need some guidance.....I have decided to make a career change from education to nursing and am very passionate about it. Nursing has always been something that I wanted to do but never had the time to pursue it. Now, I am beginning to take my prerequisites to get into the program. At this time, I am working full-time at my children's school, and we will be entering summer vacation in 2 weeks. I am taking 3 online courses. Nutrition, Art Apprec. and Sociology. What I am most stressed about right now is my Nutrition Class. I have a good general knowledge about Nutrition. I have been "nutrition smart" for 15-20 years now. I have been working full time, and studying obsessively for a week now. I took my first quiz today in Nutrition (4 days early) and did bad. 70%...a C or D. I am horrified! I am an A student!!!! I froze during the online test, and non of the questions were what the instructor had prepared us for! Am I jumping the gun to be full of anxiety already? I am just not used to doing this bad on a test! I need advice! I am worried that this is my first Nursing course, first test and I bombed it! Can anyone relate or give me advice? I hope that I haven't made a huge mistake. I really want to do well and make this work! HELP!

Same thing happened to me! I made a 90, 80, & 50! I am in a panic. We are not told what to study, only to read the chapter and answer the 10 questions. The questions are from the books publisher, so they are off the wall and random with no way to study them. I wish you luck!
