I feel stupid.. I A's the exam in nursing but in application, I cant remember a thing

Yeah, sometimes I have to jog my memory during application. I think it's because with so much to remember for nursing, and include your personal life...heck, I'm always amazed at how nursing students retain so much information.

I know , specially if some things need to be done fast, I can't remember things!

Yes, I have that problem, too, but I'm beginning to feel comfortable in my environment, and things are coming more naturally to me. Give yourself time. :)

I was the opposite. I didnt do the best on the test but I rocked clinical.

same here, I suck on tests, but I do better in clinical. not sure if this has anything to do with being a visual learner. LOL!! but it's ok. as long as I stay in the 85% range on the test, I am fine.

Are you cramming before exams? that was my problem- when I crammed I got god grades, but if the instructor mentioned something later, my response was "ehhhh...."

I learned the hard way, that if you want to remember something, you need to study it without stress--- it's the only way. for example, my Pharmacology exam is coming up in 14 day, but I started 2 months ago... plannning my study time is a huge stress reliever.
