NP’s Family Dynamics with Eesher: Strategies for overcoming academic challenges and enhancing memory retention
Dear Sis Eesher, I am a nursing student, and I need some guidance or advice regarding certain academic challenges I am currently facing. As you are an educational psychologist, I believe you can help me.
I’m having challenges with memory retention and recall. Previously, I could easily remember what I studied, but since starting 300-level courses, my memory has been failing despite increasing study time and changing study patterns.
The problem has worsened this semester, as I forget information immediately after discussions. My declining academic performance has affected my CGPA, which initially was 4.0. I am now worried about potential withdrawal from the program. I am seeking advice on effective study strategies, retention, and recall to excel in my exams.
Dear Anonymous,

You’re experiencing memory challenges due to increased cognitive load, stress, burnout, or a shift in learning style needs at this stage of your academic journey. To address these, try implementing the following strategies:
