I tried earlier but had issues. Fixed now lol. I tried to respond to your inbox but the system wont let me as of yet

I'll try to keep this short and sweet. I'm in a night and weekend RN program and work about 20 hours a week sometimes more. I'm passing my classes - passed into to Pham and health assessment last semester and I'm in Fundamentals now, in the last weeks of the class. Like I said I'm passing well enough, but I'm scared that maybe I'm just passing and not actually LEARNING this info for my future career... maybe this is coming up because I did the worst I've ever done on a test in NS tonight, or just my insecurities coming out... but am I the only one feeling this way? Has anyone that is now a successful RN ever felt this way in school? This is my foundation and I'm worried its not strong enough.

For some reason these won't open for me. I'm trying to open them with Microsoft Word. Is that wrong?

Thank you guys so much for your replies! I have my final tomorrow and I'm nervous. Thank you Rubato for your words. I feel like what you said helps me to grasp the major things I need to remember and learn from this semester. Our tests have a LOT of questions that are geared specifically toward specific drugs and especially ProtoType drugs and it made me nervous that I was supposed to be committing all these drugs, especially every antibiotic to memory or I was going to be a horrible nurse!!

Thank you everyone for your replies!! I've just been worried because this last test was harder than I thought and it's hard for me to see how someone can remember specific adverse reactions to one drug when there's 20 more we have to also know that may have similar adverse reactions. I plan on reviewing the prototype drugs, etc. over Christmas break. Pharm has been interesting but challenging!

I'm doing well in my Into to Pharmacology class, but I've been wondering.... there's so many drugs and adverse effects to watch for, how are we supposed to remember all of it? I can pass tests no problem, but I'm worried about long-term. I want to be an excellent nurse and this worries me. Are there any nurses, or even nursing students, who can help me understand if I need to be worried about this? *If this post doesn't make much sense I'm not surprised. I haven't had any coffee or 5 hour energy yet*
