Tests will not determine how good of a nurse you will be.... However to become a nurse you must pass and learn all the basics ... the tip of the iceberg.
So...
change your study habits, analyze what you did last time, change what you think may have not helped, be honest as to why you failed and implement new study habits. Visit the examination specialist if y'all have one and review all content you missed one on one with your professor.
Make sure you don't have test anxiety ... If you do... Your school will help you.
Now... Get up... Brush it off and keep going... This will not be the only downfall you experience ...
In nursing you gotta learn to troop on.
1)Have a good emotional release (run/dance/cry).
2)Think logically about what happened.
3)Implement a plan.
Thank you for your support. As far as having a good emotional release, I meditate regularly. Monday I will be able to review the exam and see what I missed. That should help me implement a plan. I use a lot ofself testing to study. The tests on the CD that came with the book plus fundamental success for more self testing.
