Last week had 6 + 2 quizes
Next week, (4 day week due to holiday) 6 and not sure about the quizes, but I'm sure someone will throw at least 1 in.
I am finding that NS is not so much "hard" as it is "tough"
I only work on Friday nights, attend school 8am-3pm, M-F, and I honestly have the books open for at least another 6 hours after I get home. Trying to make sure I know this test, and that test, and trying to read ahead, doing the home assignments. "Which class is priority at the moment" etc. It never stops.
I honestly think that is what makes it so difficult. Sometimes I find myself thinking, if I only had one more day between chapters, I may actually be able to retain this stuff for more then a day........ .
But all in all I am doing O.K. with it, just tough finding time to breath.

This may be a very elementary question, but are the tests each week cumulative?
For mine the tests are culmulative as they want us to get out of the habit of just studying the current material. The quizzes are however on new material for that week.
Mine are culmulative as well, our classes are based on classroom hours and clinical hours. For example, PVR (Intro to nursing school) was 10 classroom hours, so we completed that in 5 days, Final on day 6. Then we started Fundamentals. Math is 30 classroom hours, which will be over in 2 weeks, and will be followed by Nutrition. In PVR, I had 5 test and 1 project together they averaged out to be a 90% as my final grade.
