I am not a failure...I keep telling myself as tears stroll down my face reflecting back on this semester. I am currently in my second semester, and although it should be an "easier" semester learning the basics and building my foundation for the rest of the program, I have reached a dilemma. I am not passing my fundamentals 2 class. I am most likely going to have to retake it. I still have 1 more test and a HESI before I make my final decision. Throughout the semester, I have studied with the same study group I always have been successful with, then switched to other groups who are helpful and still could not achieve the results I was working for. I don't know what my issue is, but these tests are really frustrating me. I get the hands on work in clinical, but the test questions are really not making sense to me, until I talk it through with my professor. I have gone through a lot this semester outside of school, and have been isolated by a lot of friends for unknown reasons (hence switching study groups). I am not looking for sympathy whatsoever, but maybe some advice on how you approached this class and words of encouragement that I can get through this. My cohort is the best group of people I could have been surrounded by, and the thought of being "left behind" really scares me. Although it is what it is, I have to accept it and work even harder. TIA

I am currently in my first semester of nursing school. As with the 75% rule to pass, I am having some struggles. Surprisingly I am passing pharm, but what should be easy- foundations-the intro class, I am not. Does anyone have study tips??? Because they put the info that we are supposed to learn into situational form, but they do not go over what to do in those said situations. Any recommendations????
