i'm on probation already. i have a 55% in theory. i totally studied for this test... every weekend, hour, and a few hours of summer were spent studying on this test. it was a review of preop/postop care, and first semester things.. i recorded the lectures.. i listened to the professor... did readings before i got to class. i read the readings.. well for the most part, i focused on the main points.. now i am confused as hell. i havent tried studying in groups yet.. but i dont know what to do now.
i pulled 7 hrs studying each weekend (which isn't that much i know), with break in between, and i took notes.. not that very detailed, but on the main points of what the professor covered, if i did everything, i wouldnt have the energy to anything........
i have a headache again. i went to my counsellor, she told me to go to my prof to ask for help, read everything, read SLOWLY, take shorter notes, teach yourself, and go to group studies.
how do i raise my grade? what books should i use? i dont know if saunders nclex rn is the optimal one to use.. i feel frustated and now..scared.
please help.
