I need help with Fundamentals of Nursing

Published

I'm feeling very frustrated because I am currently having a lot of difficulty with my Fundamentals of Nursing course. We just had out midterm today which is 30% of our grade and I highly doubt that I passed. I literally did everything I could to study. I did all the reading, review questions, even listened to chapter podcasts. I went over all the chapters and made sure I understood basic concepts and also knew how to apply them to different situations. Well, I guess I just wasn't a good judge of my own understanding because the test really threw me for a loop. I went into the midterm feeling confident and left literally fighting back tears. Mind you, I've been studying for a while, I didn't just cram the night before. If I did in fact fail my midterm I don't know what I'm going to do. I literally have no social life, the only free time I get I either sleep or clean my apartment. I'm not sure if it's just me but if I'm having this much difficulty with a FUNDAMENTALS class I'm starting to think nursing isn't for me. I just feel so hopeless. Any advice or suggestions would be very much appreciated.

The saunders book is a great quick study reference throughout school.
