If you're failing: -Read EVERYTHING assigned. Just buckle down and do it. Highlight the important stuff and go back over it. -Record lectures and listen to them in your car -Watch videos...youtube and otherwise -Take good notes and review them at least two times -Understand why you got the answers wrong -Do practice questions before the exam

Great advice !

WHAT SCHOOL DID YOU GO TO ?

I got two C’s in my first two exams for my Basics to nursing concepts...less than 75% grade in class you get removed..Hopefully I can turn this around :(

I failed my test last week and I've been so discouraged.. I allowed myself to cry then got motivated. I am going into beast mode n trying to approach my next exam differently

[@lifewhajra]

I’m so discouraged I study so much and put all my time and effort into my classes and still can’t get a good score on my tests :(

[@nathalie7035]

I failed patho and I’ve never been so discouraged. It’s no one’s fault but my own. I know I didn’t spend time studying as much as I should have. That’s on me. It was my every first nursing quarter and I definitely took it for granted and didn’t listen to people when they said nursing school is a lot of hard work. I’m taking it again next quarter but graduation is getting pushed back another quarter. The stressful part is that I am only allowed to fail one class during the program before I get kicked out. Since I failed patho, I can’t fail anything else or I will be kicked out. I’m so scared to fail another class but giving up is not an option for me. I want to be a nurse more than anything but I’m feeling super sad about it. I’m just here to vent. Thanks Nurse Sarah ❤️

[@raelynnrussell1941]

I love the nursing made insanely easy books! As a visual learner they are super helpful.

[@atteshasutton4759]

It made me feel really good that some people experience failing nursing courses. I'm 17 and in my first year of nursing school and it is extremely stressful I have trouble in math and I need an 80% to pass the class as I am sitting at a 75% right now. All of my other classes I have managed to keep my grades up even thought online school is very hard and frustrating. I really hope I pass the class because if I don't I will have to graduate a year later due to repeating the course. My math teacher is absolutely horrible she doesn't answer emails and won't even tell me where I went wrong on the test. I don't know what to do other then study harder even though I've been studying for 10 hours everyday. This video helped me a lot I will come back to it if I need help and also if I pass the class or not.

[@oftenunsaid2175]

Mines is freaking Basic nursing skills! I tried everything.. Going to the professor after tests, I talked to the professor many times and got advice from her, I used videos, ATI testing, I had a good study group, read out loud, and gave myself enough time to study! Idk I tried

[@brownfoxx76]

Thanks for this encouraging post. Fortunately Im not flat out failing the Fundamentals course but i failed my pharmacology exam by 3 points last week then today I make mistakes during clinical for my turn at Med administration and i felt so discouraged. I still have a few weeks in the semester to improve and this video gave good ideas.

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Thank you for the comment :) I'm glad the video gave you some tips. Hang in there and don't give up. Those classes are very tough (and that is putting it lightly). I wish you the best :)

I failed my dosage calculations exam this morning and I have to retake Fundamentals again in January. I will pass next semester. Love your videos by the way❤

I'm currently failing fundamentals. 77 is passing and I currently have a 70. Today I cried in my car on my way home. I don't know why it's not clicking for me. I know the material, but those questions trip me up all the time. I'm stressed.

[@genesiskravitz8621]

No kidding, my best subject in nursing school was Patho and my worst....Pharm. Can you imagine? I was so embarrassed. All my friends just got all the meds and side effects and interactions so well and it took me so much longer to really put everything together. It was a nightmare.

[@skystarrainskystarrain5426]

I got 85 my first exam and then a 64 on my second and the worst part is I felt confident with my answers and when I reread the questions I realized I didn’t pay attention to the words and I knew the right answers but just didn’t pay attention

[@illuminati_watching8391]

I have to get a 64/65 on my patho final to pass and I don’t know what to do. I can’t afford summer classes. I guess I’ll just have to be a year behind. I only did bad on 2 tests but there are like no grades in there.

[@DarkISO25]

I’m at a 66 for med surge 1 lecture. Didn’t do too hot on the first exam and did worse on my second. I HAVE to do really well on the last two but those like 7-8 chapter exams and I have other class work to do. I’m passing all my other classes and clinicals just fine. I just find medsurg has way, way too much info to learn…

Any tips if I'm failing at CNA school. I worked as a TNA for 9 months on nights. When we did rounds and everything, everyone took short cuts so that's how I learned. Now whenever the trainer tests on skills after showing us I forget steps. Like today I forgot to lock a wheel chair when transferring a resident to the wheel chair. The 9 months I have worked I haven't forgotten to lock a chair or any safety measures. The trainer , nurse is saying that CNA isn't for me. Is she right?

[@caitlynmartin4020]

Not doing the best in patho right now. First exam got a 84 last 2 didn’t do well. Have 2 more exams this semester and need to get a A on one and a high C on the final to pass. I’m studying a little bit each day and hoping I pass. Thanks for this video because I’ve been questioning myself

[@kendreamer6376]

I fail out of nursing school. I know why. The way the colleges works in America is not like my home country. You are not given enough time to learn and master the textbooks. I personally, do not like learning so for me to learn anything I have to repeat what ever it is that I am trying to learn over and over and over and over again and still I'll forget it the next day. So I have to go back and try to brute force remember it via repetition. While all my classmates are moving on to the next thing, I still don't remember the first thing. And the trick to learning anything is the remember it, duh!!! Now if you ask me anything about math I remember it all. And can learn new things dealing with math very easily. It's not because I have a talent for math. I just learned it the longest. This is what I mean. I spent 1 grade up to college grade learning math. From Arithmetic to Geometry to Algebra to Calculus to Physics. Math is math. That is 14 years of just doing math. If I haven't learned math after 14 years I would really feel dumb lol. I am not saying I need 14 years to learn arithmetic or nursing, but I can't learn nursing in just 1 semester. Nursing Fundamentals alone bombard you with alot of terms concepts and facts that you must commit to memory. My brain is like "why do I need to expend energy to code this into your memory." I'm like "I need it to pass my exam." My brain is like " Tough luck buddy because I don't care." I'm like T.T

[@quyenngoc7654]

i can relate to this so much

[@DM-mn8nr]

And it is also because this terms sound so foreign to us. I have the same problem as you. I need to repeat something over and over again until I get it right, but in nursing school there is no time for such repetition.

[@nicetomeetyou556]

[@ipwnu11b]

in my last year of nursing school and this semester is just kicking my butt. the first year was hard but i managed to survive. but this semester, oh man I im failing all but one class and im just barely passing. Even in clinical im doing poor. this is really taking a toll on me mentally and physically. CHA is really kicking my butt and i already know i will not pass this course (even if i score high 80s/90s on the last two exams). So i am finishing strong and preparing to take it over the summer or the following semester. I really want to be a nurse but now I'm second guessing myself. maybe nursing isnt just for me. Im even considering taking a semester off and working as an LPN.

[@brandyphilpot930]

ipwnu11b similar situation I’m a 3rd year and last semester kicked my butt, but I survived now I’m in my spring semester and I’m failing I can still pass but it’ll be tough. That’s one reasons Ever since this year people who say “oh you should study more” or what ever irritate me that much more, because nursing school you could study 24/7 and still do bad on the test because they are super hard. A lot of people outside of nursing school don’t understand just how hard and how much of a time commitment it really is. I do hope you decide to retake the classes and become a nurse if it’s your dream, but I would totally understand if you took a break from it as well.

I'm in an accelerated program and its so difficult to find people who know anything about that. I "failed" every midterm exam that I had (Didn't score higher than a 78 on anything) so I'm pretty sad. Need to ace finals honestly or I wont' be staying in the program..

[@adelajataiwo656]

[@roxannenoriega5661]

Any suggestions for critical care study guides??

[@kristinkrystoff4238]

Im not FAILING out, but the last few classes especially, I am not doing as well as I should be. Granted, everyone could always do MORE in the way of studying... but I really do work very hard and have a very real concern about my program, specifically, that I'd love some input on: How is it that I am in a program where the questions on the nursing CLASS exams I am STRUGGLING with, but week 3 of the 5 week class I can level 3 the ATI? Is this normal? Its not that I don't know the material... I work very hard to understand the material. I work very hard to be able to sit and have a discussion about all of it as well as relate the material to prioritization of care with consideration to the application of the nursing process... yet Im getting 70-78 on my exams [usually 4 tests which make up 60% of my grade] and then pulling that up to at the end when SOME of the questions are repeated [typically will get a 90-95 on my final, worth 20% of my grade]. Also, I do well on my first exam... though its all relative... but this term for example [acute care] 87.9 on my first test... and the 2nd barely a 70! another one today... terrible! In my program our 80% rule excludes our ATI and quiz[prepU assignments] scores... Which means that none of that even counts/helps toward my grade until I've achieved an 80 weighted test average. I'm just... I don't know... searching. I want to know how to do better on these tests! Its stressing me out and driving me NUTS! My ATI pulse is 99% and I'm in my FINAL RN class... I still have leadership/dimensions but as far as CARE classes... this is it. Im going into the last week of this class with a 75% test average, PRAYING it doesn't drop any further... and basically counting on my final to bring me up... Is it possible that the questions on my schools nursing EXAMS are somehow "better" / "harder" questions than those on ATI? Is it a question of flawed testing banks since, with my program, the instructors create the questions and have them "verified" by another instructor rather than using the provided source questions? One instructor actually told me "I read the book too much." Another has told me that I am too focused on A&P... which is PROBABLY at least a LITTLE true but, at least for me, if I don't have a solid understanding of the human condition I can no way gauge the human response. I can't just MEMORIZE what the slides say or what the instructor says in class... I have to UNDERSTAND it. I'm at a loss. Im still getting by but my GPA has DROPPED from 3.89 to 3.49 PROGRESSIVELY in several of my nursing courses, and I don't know how to fix it. I have plans AFTER this program and I need to maintain a high GPA to remain competitive... I guess I'm just beginning to wonder if this is a problem exclusive to me or if there are others... lol

Why does my school have 80% exam average? Meaning we have 4 exams but in order to pass the class exam average total have to be 80%. Even if you pass the class but your exam average doesn’t meet 80% you failed. Like anyone else’s school like this..?

[@nataliepham9042]

my school is exactly like that. I just got my final exam grade and I didn't make it for concept/fundamentals/health promotion (whatever you call it). I have to retake the class. One good thing is that this fail won't count against me because my school adjusted the policy due to COVID-19

[@jessicab331]

Yes... well kind of... my school you have to have a 78% average before homework. And if you do you’ll be able to have the homework added in. But crazy thing is the homework can bring your grade down if you have somethings missing so it can fail you even tho it can’t help you.
