Any Help?

I'm currently in LPN school, and we are in the most difficult section-Med-Surg. It is completely kicking my butt. I've tried different types of studying (note cards, quizzes, recording the notes) and nothing seems to work. I completely freak out on my tests and over think the critical thinking questions. I'm emotionally exhausted and completely overcome! Especially since I have a 77 and need an 81 too pass, with only four tests left in the section. Others in the class are struggling, while our teacher gives us insanely hard test to maintain her NCLEX 100% pass rate. Our graduation date is set for August but I'm not even sure I'll make it. Cardiac really threw me under the bus, and right now we're studying the GI system which doesn't seem to be any more understanding. I can't afford to fail, I'm working part time to pay for school and I've already failed out of the RN program a year ago. Any advice??

    To be completely honest.... I would see your doctor and ask to get on something for anxiety to get you through school! This is what I did and it made it possible for me to focus on my material rather than what was flowing through my brain!

    One study tool I've done is...Teach it to somebody else. That means you can randomly get anybody who will listen or just have someone sit down with you and tell them what you learned at school. You may think you sound silly doing it at first but it helps especially if you use a little humor. I know it's no laughing matter but you might need to crack a smile or 2 to calm yourself down. As I always tell my classmates..."YOU take the test, DON'T let the test take you.."

    I wish you the bestest ( yes I said bestest) :)
