HELP! I'm currently halfway through my nursing program and am finishing up Pharmacology and Fundamentals. At my school, we have to take specialized HESI's for each nursing class as our final exam. I passed my Fundamentals HESI but failed my Pharmacology HESI with a 52% when I needed a minimum 57% to pass the class. Should have been easy to attain right? I know :( I only get one more chance next Wed 9/25 to pass with a 57% or higher. I ran out of time the first try and had to guess on a few questions but still didn't get to answer the last two. Does anyone have any study tips? I just got access to my remediation on Evolve, but I'm still nervous that I did so horribly.
I'll admit that I wasn't that sharp with my drug endings - but I struggled most when it came to what to do in emergency situations and side effects/adverse effects for certain drugs. I really don't want to fail this class, I've already gone through so much in nursing school as a whole, and I'll only have 8 months left if I pass this Pharm HESI. I'll take any advice possible. I have really bad test anxiety so I'm trying to remain calm so that I don't blank out during the exam! I just recently got the hang of using my ABC's, the nursing process, and the eliminating process which helped me pass the Fundamentals exam - but I know Pharm focuses more on drugs and their contraindications/side effects.
