I think that's a little harsh. We all handle stress differently and we all have different strengths; it's unfair just to write off those who struggle as being uncaring and lazy. And though I'm not...
The kardex is kind of a patient cheat sheet. It lists all the important information to get a quick summary of your patient's needs. From my experience in clinicals, it has your client's basic...

Every school is going to be different, especially with how many clinical hours you're doing. Plus it varies largely by the year of the program. But if you want an idea of how my first year of BScN...

I found general psych to be a walk in the park, but I know others struggled more with it. Depends on your strengths; I've been interested in psych for a long time so I had a basis for the class before...
I was basically in the same position as you for one of my classes (I was in first year BScN.) We needed a 63% to pass the course, and I needed a 59% on the final to achieve that or I failed my entire...
