Naomi and I met concerning her grades on level 2. She failed 2 medical-surgical courses but finished the overall course with a minimally passing grade. Several other courses were passed but at a minimal grade as well.

We reviewed her current study habits. I made several suggestions on how to more efficiently study, especially since she states she has other obligations such as caring for her family. She states she spends about 2-3 hours a night studying but spends much of her time rewriting material. Also she cannot study until later in the evening after she has cared for her family and by that time she is very tired.

Some suggestions I made were that she stay at the school 1-2 hours after school to study without interruption and to spend more time reading than rewriting material. I also suggested she study every day instead of waiting until immediately prior to a test. I suggested that she also review her individual course PowerPoint handouts frequently.
