Do you ever have a subject that you are just not able to grasp no matter what?

For some reason I'm not able to grasp the sensory system. Its so frustrating. I felt the same about Fluids and elytes however, I think sensory is worst for me. I'm just having a hard time understanding the ear and eye disorders. :o

I'm sure I will pull through by time my exam comes around but for right now I'm just stuck. So far I've been reading, made flash cards, doing nclex questions ( most I've gotten wrong)... I'm going to try to meet with a classmate to study but if not I guess I'll sign up for tutoring.

Have any of you ever had a subject that was just hard to grasp ????

Because if you are talking about cranial nerves which is part of the topic, I could give you a hint which is really helpful.

After 35 years in the Nursing Profession, I still have areas that are stronger than others, when it comes to understanding!

Med Calculations still throw me for a loop! :eek:

I work in an area with minimal calculations, so this weakness is not a significant problem for me.

I'm am NOT a NICU or ICU nurse because of knowing my areas of strength vs weakness.

You will find your "niche" in nursing...

and you will know where to look things up and get help in your areas of weakness!

Chest tubes stump me. The day we went over them in skills lab, I was tired and tuned out. Then, I'd read the section in my textbook about chest tubes and my mind would just go zzzzzt...zzzzt....zzzzzzzzzzt.

I still don't understand chest tubes. Guess I better figure them out before I hit my last semester's clinicals in August.

Acid-base balance. I am determined to teach myself this summer. We had minimal instruction on it and it made no sense to me what so ever.
