Thank you so much for this information. May I ask how did you learn you learn your classification of drugs with Davids Drug Guide or did you use other resources to learn your classification that way? I really highly agree with what you said about finding associated information! I am going to try that technique and I'm sure that it will help me do well in so many ways. Because it makes so much sense. Not only will it help me with one test but several and even on my NCLEX ! OMG I can not thank you enough for showing me another way to grasp material.

@Apple-Core, You are absolutely right and I really appreciate that. I wish you and your fellow classmates the best of luck! I have now dusted myself off and I am ready to start this thing over in the Spring.

I can comprehend the books but one day I was in Books A Million and I looked over a book called Pharmacology Made Incredibly Easy. I loved the way it broke it down and went into detail and made me understand things a little bit better. I failed my first test because of course it was my "first test" and I really didn't know how to prepare for a nursing test. But eventually I got the hang of it and was doing good until I took my last test Rotation 6 (it was a makeup test). It covered medication administration, pediatric pharmacology, dosage calculations, and growth and development (infants, toddlers and preschool). I'm actually pretty good with dosage cal. Thank you for seeing potential in me. I really hope to make it because I honestly can't see myself putting time into anything else other than nursing. I was so hurt about having to start over and going through 1st semester again. I now have come to realization that this is an opportunity for me to do better than I did this semester.

Just found out I failed 1semester nursing school. I have been so hurt behind it all but that is a whole different story. Came out with a 79.2 and needed a 80. I was doing really good until I took my last test and failed. I passed my finals but it just wasn't enough to help recover from my last test. I really need some encouragement even though I have a great support system I need to hear from someone who has experienced the same thing. How do I expect to get pass 2nd, 3rd and 4th semester if I cannot get pass 1st? Please help me. (What are some good materials I can buy to better breakdown things for nursing school?)
