Would love some advice before starting Adult Health 1...

So im about about to begin my 2nd semester of nursing school. I really stuggled during 1st semster with school, working full time, and being a single mother. So if anyone has advice on what I could be looking at or reading to prepare myself for this class it would really be helpful. Ive heard this is going to be one of the hardest classes of the program. Over half the class last semester failed. Whats a good way to study for the tests? Does any of the material seem harder than the others and is gonna kick my butt even more than the rest? Just any little tid bit of info would help out a lot. Thank you!

I have no idea how your program is structured, but fluid and electrolyte balance seems to mess a lot of people up.

I know we have to learn stuff for exams but try and learn all the stuff which you think is most relevant with regards to nursing, try to find as much interest in it as possible ( that way its much easier to remember) and then build on that. Try to grasp the basics first and then go into detail. A simple example of this would be trying to learn how the heart works and the diseases associated with the heart without knowing what an atrium is or the septum or the aorta. best of luck :)
