hmm it depends upon what it is that you want to achieve at the end and what it is that you find the hardest t present. I assume that you are in the UK, if so the first year is called the common foundation year which means that you can switch between adult, child, mental health and learning disabilties if you really want to. If you find it difficult dealing with children perhaps move to adult nursing. There is generally more freedom and jobs within the adult sector and overall there will be more hands on that you can actually do.
The training is hard, I have to admit that, but it is worth it in the end. I used to work my rota so that I did 3 long days, which was hard work and meant working 7am till 8pm. I used to do that monday, wednesdy and friday. I would have a lie in on a tuesday and thursday and spend all afternooon on those days in the library. It also meant that I had my weekend to myself, or I could use the weekend to do a bit more study if needed.
If however you are still finding it difficult, perhaps speak to your tutor who might be able to recommend things for you. I know our uni had time management sessions which some of the students found helpful. And if you have other difficulties such as depression then it is possible to get extended deadlines.
I dont often get time to drift over to this area of the forum so if you want to chat or anything, feel free to pm me.
Take care
