Hello, Just wondering if anyone can give me any opinions on some concerns I'm having as a student. I'm worried that as much as I study, 2-5 hours per day, alot of things I learn in class aren't sticking in my head. I'm good at remembering stuff short term, then after a test I'm so concerned with the next thing to do, study, read, prepare for, that what I've just tested on becomes foggy in my brain. I recognize stuff after I hear or read it, but if you asked me to explain something, I'd have a tough time explaining alot of things. I'm a solid B student, but I feel not very smart!!! Maybe I'm not book smart but more of a feel things out intuitive kind of thinker. I'm finishing up my junior year, finishing up my med/surg clinical, as well as psych, and I've only had the chance to do one catheter, one subq injection, some IM's, and mostly give meds with my instructor and other tasks like helping patients readjust themselves in bed etc. I'm afraid I'm a slow learner or something, or does it just take more practice and experience to learn skills and retain all these facts I'm learning:confused:? My confidence right now is rather low.
