i need help, i need help BADLY!
2nd year of nursing school is whooping my behind. I never studied so much and i never did so bad in school as i am doing right now.
my problem is the test questions, thy do not just test the content, it's mainly critical thinking, and since they do not teach critical thinking, you're left to struggle on your own.
what are some strategies you can offer that help you do well on nursing exams?
