I'm a second year student at the Ryerson site of your program. It is your choice whether or not you stay in the program, based on your assessment of the risks. I'm curious to know what your current strategies are. I've noticed that practicing NCLEX questions have been helpful in patho and nursing practice. You can easily find NCLEX questions by googling them or going to nurseslabs.com In patho, have you tried using a study tool? There is a lot of content in patho and it can be overwhelming. Organizing the information through a structure that includes (etiology, pathophysiology, nursing interventions, collaborative care and pharmacology) helps. For example, with acute kidney injury, what is the disease process (pathophysiology) behind it? And how do we treat it? (collaborative care). Passing is possible! A healthy balance can happen. There are several students out there with numerous responsibilities, but have found strategies to succeed in the program. Feel free to ask for more advice!
