Pathophysiology struggles..

Hello fellow Nursing students/Nurses!

Well I start clinical in January, BUT I need to pass my classes (4) this semester. I am doing fine in three, but in one (pathophysiology) I am struggling, hard.

3.46 student never failed an exam, and BAM it hit me, a 58.... I have added 4.5 to my final grade by completing all the extra homework assingnments early. Also, 25% of our grade is based on homework's that I've gotten 100's on so far. With that said, I did not drop this course, because I still have a C even though I failed the first exam. So I want to crush the next exam and was curious to see if it can be done in two weeks. I work a lot, and take four other classes.

I studied but not enough. I have two weeks to study for this next exam. I've done all the extra credit questions (30) and he says it's a tool that should be used as a study guide. He presents his materials in extremely confusing power points that are spread out all over the place. So I have two options; study the extra credit questions that I answered, and read the corresponding text, or study the power points.

I guess I am just stressed at the moment even though I have a solid two weeks to study, I am locking myself at the library for at least 4-5 hours a day starting tomorrow. I have created a few study groups that will be meeting this week at my local University. I also have been talking to others that have succeeded on the first exam. One girl told me, "I studied three days before and got an 86". 'Bashes Head On Wall'
