good idea, thanks! anything else?? I was thinking maybe something along the lines of maintaining body movements, or maybe methods of helping arthritis pains?

first of all i know how you feel...unfortunately i've been there! the biggest thing you need to do is take a deep breath and calm down. Believe me...this is not the end of the world, or your healthcare career. the second thing you need to do is find out what it is your having ahard time with. Do you freeze up when you get the test, or can you just not remember what you studied? I made it through A and P using flashcards which i see a few other people have mentioned, you can also find books at local book stores that help with studying, they have diagrams thatyou can color on to help you learn systems and muscles etc. you really need to find out what it is that is messing you up on the tests. you said that you knew all the answers studying the night b4 so have you ever been screened for test anxiety? there are a lot of different things you can look into and many answers to all the problems you may be having, but the true key to studying A and P is to find out what works for you. are you an auditory person or a visual person? or maybe you learn better by doing? you really should use the link "Daytonite" left for you to figure this out and it will do volumes for you! Good Luck and remember, take the class over again and sign up for a grade replacement at the beginning of next quarter!! it will save your GPA which is what counts when you are trying to get into/ stay in nursing school!

try Medical-Surgical Nursing by Ignatavicius (elsevier saunders published) 5th edition. it is very informative and has lots of illistrations so that you can follow along easily without getting lost in the reading!
