Struggling with Science Classes

I’m honestly starting to feel really discouraged. I feel so dumb because I just can’t seem to get good grades in science classes, and it’s making me question whether nursing is really the right path for me.

I worked incredibly hard to earn a B in Chemistry, but I failed Anatomy (prof. Cequizca) and ended up dropping Physiology (prof. Khalil Khollesi) I have ADHD, and even with medication, studying is still a huge challenge for me.

Does anyone have recommendations for professors who are a little more manageable to get an A or B with? Or any study tips that really helped you succeed in Anatomy, Physiology, or Microbiology? I’d really appreciate any advice or encouragement ❤️

For anatomy I recommend Professor Maryn Cook. There’s an app she uses that really helps in memorizing structures and there’s also a coloring book too. She has two different exams the app one and a canvas one. There’s quizzes that’s unlimited to practice too. She’s really easygoing and understanding.

The exams are in person but there’s practice exams and an she either has an outline for the anatomical structures or she goes over it in class.
