NEED ADVICE

[Lsugal731]

So im in my first semester of nursing school. Things have not been going too well. Im failing one class horribly and im borderline on another. I just took a test for that class the other day studied my heart out and felt like I failed. Im so nervous all the time. I cry everyday and I cant sleep. Im always studying till like 4am and still feeling like I cant get anything done. By the time the weekend comes im so tired and just cry. I like what Im studying and im glad to be here im just scared to fail and my test anxiety is so bad. Is this normal what should I do?

It breaks my heart to see all of the people who tried so hard in that class but it still wasn't enough. I would caution anyone entering this program to NOT enter unless you are willing to fail & repeat that course. I have never seen anything like it.

Lsugal, when you retake the course, consider getting the study guide "Physiology Board Review Series". I bought it last Thursday at the campus bookstore and read THE ENTIRE THING over the weekend. I think it helped me as much, if not more, than reviewing all of the lectures. There ought to be some cheap used copies out there, now that the semester is over. I had heard mention of it when the semester started and wish I had bought it way back then.

I actually bought that book towards the end too. I know what you are talking about. I read most of it but I didnt have time to read the whole book. I had the flu all over the break so I was really struggling to study but I did what I could. I hate to be negative about LSU but something needs to be done about this class its totallly ridiculous!
