I'm currently in an associates degree nursing program and I'm worried about whether or not I will do well in the program. There's so much that I'm required to read I mean ALOT! And I'm worried about being able to retain as much information as I can. I've been keeping up with the readings so far but its a lot to remember. Right now we're learning about the nursing process: critical thinking, assessment, diagnosis, planning outcomes and interventions, implementation and evaluation. All topics are split into 7 chapters and its so much to remember. On top of that I'm reading doseage calculations book and I have readings for another nursing class I have to keep up with. My instructor says most of the questions on the exam will require more critical thinking and a little memorization. I'm really afraid of not being able to memorize most of this information. I really don't know what do do, but I'm not going to stop because I'm scared, worried or confused. I really need some advice on how some of you kept up with the readings and what helped you retain more information. I'm a visual learner BTW.
