I go to gwinnett tech in ga. I'm taking my first exam tomorrow at 8 am sharp. Worried out of my mind. I have no clue what to expect. Anyone else want to put their feelings or situations. Major support group appreciated.

I am NOT trying to be a COB here, But honestly, if your first exam is coming up, and you're worried about it- GET OFF allnurses and study.

Passed mine with an 88 today!! Was very excited. Now I can relax a little that I understand how the instructors test. Mine was a lot more general than I thought it would be. I think I crammed too much info in my head!!

I study all the time. I deserved the break to get it off my chest to others on AN. I got an 87.5 I didn't think it was hard. I have a pharm test tomorrow. Hope I do just as well. Congrats to all of you you did well! Thanks for the support guys :)

Yeah, sometimes it's good to walk away from the books. Too much studying can be just as bad as not enough. Congrats on the 87. I'm sure you feel relieved!!

I did not do well on my last two exams but you know something, as I'm reading over patient teaching in my fundamentals book, it's literally validating what I was doing in the beginning that was making me successful. I changed how I tackled the material and Idk why bc I was doing just fine before. Word of advice to all still struggling to grasp theoretical knowledge, I highly suggest reading about active involvement and learning environment. It literally describes how we learn best :) for those with the Wilkinson and Treas at fundamentals of nursing textbook it's chapter 24 patient teaching. Hope this helps bc this literally explains why I did well before and why I didn't recently. I chose to try a method that has been proven is less effective in retaining knowledge.
