I failed the first semester of the nursing program. I'm really nervous about the semester starting up again, as I only have one last shot or I'll be kicked out of the program. I can't identify my problem of exactly what went wrong. I figured maybe it was because starting Fall 2011 of starting college I had no breaks, not even summer, of just being in school all year. Almost 3 years until I got into the nursing program...so maybe I was burnt out and just trying to get by because I was tired???? I definitely noticed myself slacking off studying a little bit, however the critical thinking questions kind of got to me too..but when i did study I read, used the ppts given by teachers, and answered practice questions from ThePoint. Can anybody help me maybe try something different. I also got tired of my environment of studying which had been my room for the past 3 years with no break. I just had my first real summer break doing absolutely nothing. So I'm hoping upon returning I can knock out nursing school successfully.
