HyperHypo1

We have still not had a exam review yet. We missed 3 out of the 6 lectures due to the weather. My study habits are "weird" I never had to try hard to do well. Nursing school is a HUGE wake up call. I study sometimes for hours in a day and absorb nothing. This past week I studied 2-3 hours each day SLOWLY and see if I could understand the material and it has been working. I dont know what else to at this point. I want to do so well, only 2 weeks left in the semester! But I need to study better/smarter vs. harder.

I am in my 2nd semester of MedSurg I and Maternity. It was a great first 75% of the semester now things are getting serious. I failed an Exam and horrified. My avg. went down a lot. I seem to have no discipline or motivation lately. Why is everything so not straight forward? I am pretty confident in passing this semester, but until recently I was finding out I was just memorizing material rather than understanding it. ugh reality check needed.
