Thank you so much!

Thank you very much!

I did not make it through my second semester of nursing and I am petitioning for readmission for the spring. I need help on how to form what I want to say. They ask you to answer the following three questions.... What I put after them is not what I intend to send in, it is just letting you know what my issues or remedies are.. 1. What do you believe to be the cause of your inability to meet academic program requirements? (Please identify and describe circumstances on a separate sheet of paper.) I had a lot of difficulty sleeping and, therefore, I was often very tired in class, which made it difficult for me to pay attention to lectures and take my own notes. I no longer am having those issues though. I also have a 2 1/2 year old little girl who always wanted my attention, which made it hard to study. The main thing was that I do not have good study habits and when I do study, I cannot retain the information (reading: I tried highlighting important info as I went along, taking notes, reading back over... nothing worked to make it stick). Also, I cannot focus well. I believe I may have add, which I plan to see my doctor about, if that is the case. 2. Why do you think your performance will be improved in the future? I have a good support system now. My boyfriend plans to help me in any way possible (quizzing me, watching my little one, etc..). My family has said they will keep my daughter for me, in order for me to study with no distractions. Also, she most likely will be in headstart, which will allow me more time to my self (study time). I also plan to get the help I need in order to study and take tests better. 3. Describe in detail what you have done or plan to do, prior to the semester you might be eligible for readmission that will enhance your probability of success. I have looked up many different study tools. I manage my time poorly, so I plan to a schedule each week and write out what all I have to do (class, lab, work, travel time, appts, etc..) so that I can better manage my time. I also plan to try and find a study buddy, so that I have someone who is also in nursing to help me out. They have tutoring once a week, that I plan to attend. And there is a skills lab, that i also plan to go to, to see if they can help me to formulate a good study plan. I plan to start studying now, since I have do have all of the books. So that I will hopefully get a head start at learning what does and does not work for me. Any help with how to actually state what I need to say, or really anything would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you have any study tips, I would love to hear them!
