Hello,

Can someone please send or share with me any resources you used to pass this course? I'm in a LPN-RN program and this is the first course we have to take to move forward in the 12 month program. However, the exams are not matching up to any of the readings we are reading. The professor doesn't teach anything and we are basically teaching ourselves and have no clue what is needed to study to pass these exams. I also use NCLEX-RN prep questions to help but that's not working to help with the exams either. I pass everything else but my exam grades have not been the best and I'm unsure what to study to help me pass the last few exams, so I can succeed in the class. Please help!

Hi,

Yes, but I did not pass. So, I'm currently in the traditional pathway. However, I would recommend Simple Nursing and Nurse Sarah to teach you everything. Use an AI website/chatbox to generate study notes for you and test questions with rationales and SATA. Buy a dosage calculation book to help you understand how to do dosage calculations and the different methods. I brought one from LevelUp RN via Amazon. Get a pharmacology book too! You will need it. Also, ask the other students if they're are willing to start a study group. This will help greatly verses trying to study by yourself. Consistently, do this and you should be fine. Good luck, you got this!

Oh my gosh.

Thank you so much your reply. I didn't expect it anything. I am currently waiting for exam1 but there is no infor about it, also it feels like I have my nervous down because it is online course. It will not be easy as you said. 

Appreciate your reply again.

You're welcome! I would recommend contacting the professor if there's no information about exam 1 yet. I'm not sure when you all started, but usually everything is there from day 1. But you're correct, it is not an easy course. Even with it being online, it's still a lot of work and studying. However, use all the resources that you can, to get through the course. Try not to stress so much and you'll be fine.
