I've seen this happen first hand. Not pretty.
Why do people's g.p.a.s plummet from out of the sky?
NCLEX style questions!!!
In nursing school there will be no more memorizing stuff and spitting it out on paper. Those days are gone my friends.
The questions you will be asked will feel a bit like brain teasers.
You have to think.
You will get tricky select all that apply questions.
You will get questions where 2 answers are correct, but of the 2 correct answers one is more correct.
You will get hard midterm and final examinations where the class average is 84 sometimes even lower.
It's not all gloom and doom though.
I am here to offer you some help so you don't have to go through half the headaches my classmates and I did.
These are the books we used and a website we accessed to get us through the stormy weather.
It couldn't hurt to have the Saunders and MedSurg book for Patho as your professor will focus a bit more on signs and symptoms of the particular illnesses.
