Hi all! I am in my first semester of nursing...fundamentals. It is actually alot harder than I thought it would be! I am having some trouble and may have to repeat this class. I study and know the material...terms and definitions, but when it comes to the test I don't do well. I think I am having trouble with the type of questions they ask. I'm not sure if I am not comprehending them, or if I'm reading too much into them or what. I was hoping some of you could give me some advice on how to excel in this class. I know there are some books that have several of the critical thinking questions in them, but I am not sure which one's to get. Did any of you have problems or have to repeat fundamentals? I feel all alone in this, like I am the only one that is having a difficult time. Another student told me that I study TOO much..is that actually possible??? I study all the time, so I decided to take today off and just relax, but now I am feeling guilty for that. How do you all have time for it all and have time to just relax?
