Your struggles sound the same as mine! I have been told to start practicing nclex style questions, but right now just starting I don't have the knowledge base to answer them. All of this is really...

Sugarmag, I don't think they'll change it after this long though. I think I'm going to take EOL first semester as long as it doesn't interfere with the nursing classes schedule. I'm worried about...
