If you feel like that maybe take a day off, give your brain a rest

Sounds more like you need a break. Take a day or two off and focus on you, then come back to the books. Good luck.

Sounds like you're squeezing the bar of soap too hard and you can't hang on anymore. I too would recommend a breather, some quiet time away from your studies. It's quite possible you're freaking yourself out. (something I've done myself). Don't be so hard on yourself; you will pass and be just fine! :loveya:

Are you testing 4 LPN or RN? Because the Saunders 4th edition is good for RN. Everyone says Saunders 3rd edition is good 4 LPN!
