how to pass fundamentals of nursing

[Rn 1979]

Hello everyone,

I just would like to give you a shortcut about my story, before I started nursing school my GPA was 4.0, last semester I get accepted in nursing program and I took fundamental of nursing beside two nursing classes which is pharmacology and nursing concepts. I had to drop fundamentals after failing the first two exams and I postponed my fundamentals to this coming fall. I got B's in both pharmacology and the concepts class this spring but I am still terrified about fundamental class because when I started it I found it very easy but when the exams came it was totally confusing exams and I didn't even know what to answer. I have a bachelor degree in Engineering but nursing is my dream and I really don't want to fail it. I really don't know how to adjust for these kind of critical thinking questions but I am already practicing hard because failing is not an option now or even dropping this fall. I am taking fundamentals with pathophysiology class and I am already terrified not to pass I am an older student and work full time as Cna and English is not my first language I really need your advices guys,,, please provide me with any tips in how to do well in nursing classes.
