Windsurfer8, I am not saying that that my "issues" are an excuse. I have worked incredibly hard to over come them and work as a functional student and I am succeeding. I understand I might be at risk for more mistakes because of my "issues". People have been telling me that since I can remember. That doesn't mean I am going to stop working towards my dream of becoming a RN. I appreciate your study advice, but I do not appreciate being stereotyped as a lazy student who uses her learning disabilities as an excuse for struggling in a difficult course.
