The Second Week

The first week of nursing school comes, and everyone is scrambling around. Going to class, ordering uniforms, reading your books for the first day of class.... It's exciting, new, and completely overwhelming!

But then the second week hits. Studying begins, exam start to creep up, and you have to figure out how you're going to make it through.

Today I failed my first nursing quiz by getting a 3/5. I did over 150 Evolve NCLEX questions, read the chapter twice, and watched all the videos. I missed both of the "select all that apply" on the quiz.

Am I cut out for this? If I can't pass a quiz, how will I pass an exam?

Any advice would be appreciated. I'm trying not to have a mental breakdown over this....

ETA: This is my first semester

    Calm down. Lol! Nursing school is a lot and first semester is about learning how to think differently from what you may be used to doing. NCLEX questions are not the way to go right now, that comes later once you have a bigger picture of the topics you are studying. You should focus on the topic at hand, learning what you can from the reading, ppt's and notes. A 5 question quiz is not worth all you put into it. You'll learn that lesson pretty early on, at least I hope you do.

    You have so much farther to go, don't burn yourself out on one quiz.

    Best of luck!
