I plan to take your advice and get to my learning center to see what help they can give me this next semester! Thanks so much for taking the time to respond! Donna

Thank you both for your thoughts. Yes my school does have a "learning center" it is brand new and I have been thinking about heading in there, you are right I should just do it. I also asked a friend who is very good at A & P and Terminology to help study with/tutor me for the comprehensive final in 2 weeks. I know what you're telling me is good advice and I guess I just needed a push in the right direction. Thanks so very much for taking the time out to respond!

Am sure you all have heard this a million times but I need to vent and ask for help. I'm non-traditional nursing student and am ready to finish the last 2 weeks of my 1st semester of my LPN year. I am currently getting a 79 which is a "C" I need 5 more points to even come close to a low "B" and 3 points in the opposite direction to be on probation *sigh*. I am extremely consistant with exams. I can study a great deal or very little (cram) and I ALWAYS end up with a 78-80% regardless of the material, or the amount of questions. I either KNOW the information, or I don't. There's very little gray area. Thing is the instructors attitude is "Its your responsibility to learn" and my reaction is...yes that's what I'm here for (I don't actually say it outloud) and that's not a very therapeutic attitude to have with your students in my opinion Dang, I just feel so frustrated. Things don't seem to be taught in an organized manner (maybe becuase there's so very much information to teach) but I'm just getting by here and am used to slammin things with a fair amount of ease. I love people and want to be a nurse so bad, but have I made the wrong choice here? Pharmacology is tough, I am not following as to whether or not there are classifications (groups that I can understand, other than just being made to do med cards which means little if you can't apply it to a real life situation. That's just one complaint I could go on for hours and you all don't have that kind of time and sadly neither do I lol. Sorry for the long winded thread, I'm just so very frustrated have I said that before??? Would be grateful for any bit of advice you can give.
