Good post....studying for my 5th test before a cumulative final for my first semester and I'm already thinking I may never be cut out for this profession as so much has been thrown at us already and I'm having a hard time retaining it all...I can study and pass a test with a high percentile, but retention is something that's bothering me a lot...I do well when I do something over and over again...but practicing a skill for checkout, then not using it for 3 months doesn't feel conducive to being a good nurse in the end!! I am petrified and again -- only FIRST semester!!

I am in the end of my 3rd semester, finishing up my Peds rotation. I graduate in May and have done pretty well in nursing school. My thing is when I practice NCLEX questions and try to recall all the information I have learned, I seem to cannot always remember, like the s/s of a certain disease, etc. I think they have crammed so much in my brain, it has overloaded!!
Does anyone else have this problem? I worry about remembering it all when I go to take the my boards.
