I'm feeling really blue :sniff:. I failed my class and now I'm not graduating next year as planned :down:. I was doing good in the program up until now :sniff:. Now I'm trying to think where I went wrong?! I went into the second year feeling confident and at some point I started feeling confused and lost :confused:. I would like some advise on how to focus and consentrate and the cardia system, respiratory system and renal system. I'm feeling like I'm beating a dead-horse:deadhorse.

Awww sorry about that:(. For me, constant repetition was the thing. I read it so much, some of it finally stuck lol.

But truth to tell, if you could have a discussion group and understand the mechanics of how these things really work, I think it would help you too.

But the major truth- there really is NO one way of figuring these things out. It takes being innovative and mixing things up.Have you tried a study group?And also online learning (such as this) helps a lot.

OP, cardiac, respiratory, renal. The nursing books are worthless for these. You must go back to your anatomy and physiology. For the meds r/t... compile a list for each area, and then look up the "action, pharm" in your drug books for various classes of meds, and you will understand. That drug info will point directly to, and reinforce your anatomy and physiology for cardiac, respiratory and renal!!!

This is pure medicine related stuff. Here there is no dividing line between nursing and medicine.:twocents:
