I was having trouble and signed up for the year course because he offered more things. Anyway he took me from getting in grades in the 70s to getting over 88's! Well worth it.

I had the same trouble with nursing. I was an honor student in high school and had a 3.5 for 3 years of college. Got into nursing school and it was like slamming into a brick wall. Struggled my first and second semester. My third semester i got through 2 tests and was not passing. I was told about this guy who is a nurse and teacher who takes complex subjects and makes them fun and easy to remember. He made a song about cirrhosis which helped me tremendously. Finishing up my final semester

Hello, I am in my second year of Nursing school. The first year took a little bit of getting used to because of the critical thinking questions. I barely passed the first semester but did pretty well my second semester. The thing is, before every test I am fully confident I know the material and even when I am walking away from the test. After my first test this semester I walked out thinking I got at least a hight 80, but more than likely a A. I was shocked and saddened to find out I got a D! I have studied all month for this test, literally every day. I do not have to work and do not have kids so there is no excuse on my part. I absolutely know the facts of what I am supposed to learn, but I never know why I do not do well on the test. As of now my study method is this: Follow the module objectives by reading the books/power points. I will take down words/phrases/abbreviations that i do not know and plug them into my Tabers Medical Dictionary Online subscription which pulls the definition up right up, I then write it down in my notes. I also take down important facts I do not know. I do this multiple times until the notes get less and less and I know it all. This sounds tedious, and it is, but it worked for me last year. But after this recent grade, and for the amount of time I put into studying for this test, I feel like i need to change things up. When I say i study every day, I study every single day, and usually all day. I study too much too be getting bad grades and I am stressing out pretty bad. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
