Nursing Concepts 1 help

[nurpes]

I was wondering if someone could help me with something. I just failed nursing concepts one. I messed up on the medications part. I was confident when I took the test , but was surprised to see that I failed. Does anyone have any good notes that they can share with me or any internet resources. Maybe there was something that I missed.
