Pharmacology HELP!!! Please!

SarasotaRN2b · Jan 28, 2005

((((Karen))))) sorry about everything going on. Thought I would give you a little hug to let you know that you are not alone. Unfortunately, not being in nursing school yet, I can't help with the question, but I did want you to know that I am hoping things work out with you.

I am in MS3 and took 5 pharm quizzes in MS2 and passed all but 1!!! I have taken 2 pharm quizzes so far and failed both!! :uhoh21: :angryfire

Just before this semester started, we moved, my SIL died, my dh is looking to go on strike, I have been sick, and this past Monday my youngest son fell over the handlebars on his bike and hit his teeth on the concrete. The front wheel fell off as he was coming down from a wheelie. School has only been in session for 3 weeks!!

I failed our first exam 68% and on the second one I got a 73% which is a D-!! :crying2:

This is what they want:

Action
Adverse reactions
Drug interactions
Drug-herb interactions
Nursing implications

I get everything typed up and I read it over and over but it just doesn't stick!!

It could be my schedule this semester too. I am in school/clinicals Tues. Wed. TR. Our lectures are on Tuesday and Thursday. We had our first lecture and on Thursday of the same week we had our first quiz. The following Tuesday, we had our first exam!! Lecture on Thursday Quiz on Tuesday. [Which I missed due to my son's accident] Then the 2nd exam was this past Thursday!!

Any Advice?

Thanks!!

In His Grace,

Karen

Failure is NOT an option!!

I can give you my suggestion. Index cards and study groups. My study group was my saving grace. With going to school FT, 2 small children, husband, etc.. It really helped. Sometimes classmates can be your greatest resource.
