dear laogirlinsd, i definitely understand what you are going through. i'm in my last semester of a bsn program and i remember my days in fundamentals. i think the reason it's so hard because it's like learning a whole new language and a different way of thinking. like everyone else says i also do a lot of practice nclex style questions. i also use study groups and lots of prayer . just hang out in there! :nuke: also, go to your professors and seek them out for help. hopefully you have some that are receptive to students. good luck!
