OK so I am on the edge with ALLLL my RN classess (i dont remember LPN being this difficult!) so anywho I'm so lucky to have clincals 1.5 hrs away on a horrid drive with endless turns and curves. And I had a test today (tues), test wed. (shud be studying now woops) and clinicals thurs. evening (w. drive time 12-9) and my hugggeee final on Friday morning.... so i literally have no time to study for this final we were supposed to be studing for all semester! I am allowed to miss one clinical shift that would be excused. All the other instructors dont seem to mind if they take there excused day off.... although discouraged it is still excused. My instructor (amazing woman don't get me wrong but she's strict) doesn't want us to miss any clinical day for absolutely any reason. she said we will be docked participation pnts but still technically we are allowed an EXCUSED day w/o an excuse. My big thing is i literally cant afford any extra missed study time for this final It would be detrimental to my overall grade! I dont want to have gone through all this for absolutely nothing! SOOOO should i call her, like everyone else will and make up some excuse, in which she expects to happen, obviously 10 ppl cant all have the flu at once. OR just be honest and say I have been struggling with many things this semester and if i dont take this (1/2) day off it would be detrimental to my grade and lead to a failing grade.... I'd rather be honest but shell most likely make me feel guilty for letting my other classmates down, putting a harming my clinical experience yadayada.... WHAT SHOULD I DO!!??

but its been more than a yr .....*sigh*

I NEED to take this test i graduated a year ago failed once and ive been studing from an old nclex book forreevveerrr read it front to back god knows how many times... i want some good study tips (besides relax and yaddayadda) i need to work on my ??S would buying ncsbn $50 help ahhh dont know what too doo gahhh!!!! i can find qwat online that has to do with PN (why do RNs get all the help lol) im so bad i wish i would have baughten (see cant even spell) a better book months ago!!! i feel like balling all day long plus im throwing a bridalshower and i just cant do it im shutting down!!!!! i just dont know what to do after "studing for almost a year" lifes too busy being a single mom to a demanding toddler working fulltime.... i just dont think i could go on if i fail again i know lots do BUT I CANT do it anymore!!! ps im gonna get a well needed 1.5 hr massage b4 hand that may help...sorry for being too overdramatic
