Hello to anyone who goes to WCCCD and is past their first semester. I am having a horrible time with Med.Surg. I got a 65 on my first quiz and and 72 on the first test and that makes me failing. :( I am so upset and I dont know what to do. I feel as though I understand the material and when it comes to the test I just freeze up and everything seems so foreign. I am so afraid to fail. PLease , anyone who can offer words of encouragement, I would appreciate it.

Also, let me add...that I am studying very hard. I don't know what else to do and I am really starting to doubt myself and thinking about remediation. I am really afraid I am going to fail. I really need some encouragement. I mean, the first quiz and test are supposed to be the easier material, it's just going to get harder...and I have to do well on everything else to pass the class. I have Desouza and I heard that "no one passes her fluid and electrolytes test" Please advise!

:yelclap::icon_hug::cheers::monkeydance::balloons:Okay, did that say enough?!?! WHOOOO HOOOOOO. I am stoked for you!

1.

"stoked" - adjective - to be "stoked" is to be completely and intensely enthusiastic, exhilirated, or excited about something. those who are stoked all of the time know this; being stoked is the epitome of all being. when one is stoked, there is no limit to what one can do.

Rock on!!

Now I need to go and have a big bowl of ice cream to celebrate for you.

Hey there Jillian, i really dont doubt that your studying hard but i found to help was doing a lot of the questions that were given in books like Mosbys nclex review and just doing answering a lot of the questions associated with the topic, and try not to focus on the details becouse they tend to make you look into the question. The one thing i remember about the tests are that all the questions are right, you just have to chose the MOST right .........go figure....lol i hope this helps

CORRECTION: When I self graded my exam during the last class and went by the answer key she put on the overhead, I had an 86, but apparently a couple of them were typos. When I got my grade back today, I had a 92!! 2nd highest grade in the class. I guess I finally figured it out :)
