I need to get through Med Surg

[ananamo7]

So, I failed Gerentology and repeated and went on to Med-Surg. I can't afford to fail twice and I really need to get my career started. So, I have been working so hard that I don't know what to do anymore. I took my Oncology and Cardiac and failed miserably last week. I was so disappointed and upset. I felt like a failure. But, I have been recording my instructor in lecture, read my chapters, do study groups and do NCLEX questions, and go to extra help and do my workbook. I spend so much time studying that I don't know what else to do. Someone please help me out. I'm in a hole right now and have 5 more exams to score high. Any suggestions, tips, websites, books, anything? I will do what ever it takes. I also have alot of faith and pray. i feel so disappointed at myself now. Please anyone let me know how I can make it. Thanks

I was just like that when I first started. Do you think you may be studying to hard? I cut back to about 1/2 the time I studied and it worked! Sometimes worrying about passing from the fear they pass onto you in the beginning is enough to make you fail. Make you a plan and the materials you plan to use and give yourself about 2 hours a day per class to study. Away from people, noise etc. I literally had to put a sign on my office that said... "if in here, I am not here". Then let it go.
