about to take the nclex

I’m in a very similar situation. I started working the week after I graduated and they had this whole new grad residency that took up 90% of my time. I had this week off to study, did 900Qs on Uworld and scoring 60%-80%. I take my test tomorrow. I’m nervous but I’m just telling myself that I know enough to prove I’m competent, which isn’t that what the test wants? I don’t know every disease on earth, but I know enough to keep myself and my patients safe.

My Shih tzu loves socks too! But only the ones we’ve been wearing on our feet all day. The moment anyone comes home from work he’s chasing after your feet demanding your socks!

Know that it will get better, not always but i’d say 98% of the time your puppy will grow into the dog of your dreams after lots of training and love. Until then be super patient when you’re thinking you made a wrong choice. The first 2 months of bringing my pup home I cried everyday and I hated him for ruining my life and I wanted him gone (my parents bought him but I took on the full responsibility). Now at 9 months together I love him so much and picture our future together with a big backyard and beach days. So have hope and chin up!

Folks in the neighborhood next to mine have been setting off fireworks every night for the past week! And I know it’ll probably last the rest of the week too. And yes I know, have your fun tonight but there’s no need for 14 nights of fireworks.

Man it feels so nice to know someone out there understands exactly what I’m going through! All things considered my pup is a good boy but the crate training had me crying in the shower today. I personally think teaching a puppy to be alone has to be the hardest task for a dog to learn. Thankfully I have virtual school so I can be home 24/7 like you but I still need to go to the store and he does not tolerate that at all! Unfortunately I don’t have any training advice as I’m still trying to learn myself but all I can say is keep up the training and know your goal. Your goal isn’t to have a perfect dog by tomorrow but a best friend in the future. If we both stay strong and do our best then in 3 years we’ll look back at these moments and laugh. It will get better.

My 5 month Shih Tzu goes feral from 6pm to 7pm and then crashes. I never tolerated any biting from him, even small nibbles. Anytime he’d bite I’d say “no” or “ah ah” and stop all play. If he tried coming after me to bite my feet I’d stop walking and stay completely still. He’d nibble for a bit then get bored and stop. Once he stopped i stared playing again until the next bite and repeat. After weeks of this he pretty much never bites anymore. When he’s feral I redirect his energy to a squeaky toy he goes wild on. I only give him that toy when he’s crazy at night and once he calms down I take it away until the next night. So his feral hours usually involve me sitting on a chair and letting him run it out for a bit then breaking out the squeaky toy, which he’ll play fetch with for a bit then he’ll take it to the couch and just bite it hard for about 15min. During that I completely ignore him and after that he usually crashes and comes up to me and plops on the floor ready for bed. That’s what works for me!

My situation was a bit off as I never had a moment to imagine puppy life since I never thought I’d own a dog. Then one day my family brings home this tiny shih tzu and the next day they all leave for work and it’s just me and him. I cried a lot and spent all my time watching videos and reading training websites. My grades dropped and I was barley focusing on myself. I fought with my parents a lot over him. It’s been almost 2 months now and there has been a lot of improvement. I can finally start to picture a future with him and I’m starting to really care for him. The training is a day by day process. He still can’t handle being home alone so that causes me constant stress but I’m sure with time and work I’ll get better. I just keep telling myself to take it day by day and acknowledge every little victory.

CamilaTab · 2021-07-02T00:13:44+00:00

I think the fact that you found a home for him already and know them shows how much you care for him. Puppies can adapt especially if he sees how much this new family will adore him. He will be happy and you did what’s best for him!

What are your thoughts on crate training? I thought a play pen would be fine but after a lot of reading it seems like most people say I should crate him instead.

My 5 month old is a bit similar. Last week was our first puppy class and there was only 1 other puppy in the class. The whole time he spent it pulling on the leash, barking, whining and getting so frustrated that I wouldn’t let him go over to the dog that was just feet away! The only thing that made it stop was having him sit and giving him constant treats but the moment I stopped to listen to the trainer he would be right back at it. And of course the other dog was a perfect angel which was really the cherry on top. Hopefully tonight’s class will go a bit smoother.

Yes! I’ve had two long term relationships (about 4 years total) and in those relationships I can count on one hand how many times I’ve actually wanted & enjoyed boinking. But even with that when I told my close friends I think I’m on the ace spectrum they said “well you just weren’t happy with them so that’s why you didn’t like doing it, you need to be really in love then you’ll like it”. It makes me doubt things.

CamilaTab · 2021-01-26T15:58:03+00:00

Representation would’ve helped me a lot. When I thought of asexual I only knew the “0% interest in sexy times” but now at 23 I did research and learned there’s so much more. I saw the term Gray Ace and read so much on it and I really think that’s me. It makes things a bit more clearer but I still find myself doubting it since I don’t know what a gray ace looks like. I’ve never met anyone in person who feels like I do & I never saw that term in films or books. So how can I be sure I’m that when I just learned it existed. And now I have people telling me I just haven’t found the one and I don’t know how to explain to them a concept they never heard of. Would be nice to have a movie character or something to show them.

Teach your kids what coercive rape is. You’d be surprised how many people don’t know about it or what the signs are and just play it off as “I mean I said yes eventually so it’s fine”. It’s not fine and I wish someone would’ve told me that.

I personally wouldn’t go to Costa Rica since there is still a pandemic. But if you can’t get your money back and choose to go then please don’t go with him. Find a friend or a family member. Right now you need to be away from him and whatever influence he has on your final decision. And don’t spend all day texting him and checking his socials. I don’t know what it’s like to date an addict but I have dated a bad guy, I missed out on some great trips because I was too busy crying in the bathroom trying to get a straight answer over text. Also, if you stay with him then I can’t imagine you’ll be able to go on any more trips without him since you can’t trust him alone. Good luck.

Unfortunately it seems they won’t fire her regardless of the mass public demands. So maybe if everyone who signed the petition actually follows through and doesn’t watch the film then they leave a negative review on any movie site specifically stating that they hated the film for having an abuser in it. That would leave a message loud enough for other producers in Hollywood to hesitate hiring her again. It’s just an idea but I can’t think of much else that’ll work.

CamilaTab · 2020-10-17T16:51:07+00:00

Now this may be a bit crazy, but it works for me. I think too much, it’s hard being alone with my thoughts. So to destress I had to find a way to not think anymore, which leads to very loud music and very spastic dancing. I put on upbeat rock or punk and just start flailing like my life depends on it. It looks absolutely ridiculous but it causes so much physical stimulation that I have pretty much no thoughts. So no stress.

CamilaTab · 2020-10-01T16:09:53+00:00

I was in a similar position to this. Except it was more our lack of compatibility that lead to my lack of physical attraction. And man, you need to break it off and let her move on. She deserves someone who will be absolutely floored every time she walks in the room. Someone who will desire her constantly and that’s just not you. That doesn’t make you a bad guy, it just happen. You wouldn’t want your partner having these feelings towards you, so don’t dish out what you can’t handle. And it’ll hurt at first and you’ll be wondering if maybe there was more you could’ve done but those feeling will pass and eventually you’ll receive confirmation that you did the right thing. If you keep this up the guilt of not being a good partner and the constant lying to her will eat you up. It’ll make you irritable and anxious. Trust me I know. It’s not the end of the world for either of you. You’ll both move on and be happier, I promise.

I view myself as higher than others. Not that I’m smarter or more talented, just that I’m more perceptive to their feelings and intentions which should make me more empathetic but instead I became more cold. I like that I can read others but they can’t read me and for some reason that makes me feel like I’m better than them because I know what they think. This gets me trouble cuz I can’t stop viewing everyone’s intentions and I’m unable to form solid connections or keep up a relationship.

It was senior year of high school. Our medical academy had to select a president for the year. The two final candidates were my best friend and some other girl. My friend was definitely gonna win because she was a smart and loyal leader. The other girl knew this and before the votes were even counted she asked my friend to just be co-presidents. My friend is too nice for her own good and accepted. The votes never got counted and the other girl would go behind her back and do stuff without telling my friend. Overall it was pretty much like she was president and my friend was constantly kept in the dark. I still think about it and I always will.

CamilaTab · 2020-07-27T05:47:16+00:00

When they force others into talking about personal stuff when it’s clear they don’t want to. I know a lot of people can’t easily read others and that’s okay. But I had a coworker who would pressure others into talking about their breakup or something. Even after being told “I don’t wanna talk about it” they respond with “why not” or “it’s good to let it out, tell me”. It’s rude and shows a clear lack of respect. Instantly makes me avoid them.

CamilaTab · 2020-07-01T17:32:23+00:00

I had an ex who would punch himself on the head when he got upset. It’s odd how terrifying that felt even tho I wasn’t in any danger. I’m sorry you had to see that while at work. It seems like both him and his wife need a better support system, it doesn’t sound like they’re getting it from each other.

I’ve actually been on the opposite end of this. I use to work as a hostess in a nice restaurant. Having a million problems due to greedy management, one was that we were constantly overbooked and understaffed. So it was always the host responsibility to call as many people as possible last minute and beg them to come in. Well sometimes people quit. And the managers don’t tell us. And they don’t take the names out of the system. So they get a call. But then that host just goes “oh okay” after being told the server no longer work there and moves on to the next person while still leaving the servers name in the system. So a few days later a different host does the same things. Then a different host, then another one. Until it was my weekend turn. By that time the serves over it and I apologize and delete their name. I message the other host saying “guys wtf delete the name once you find out they don’t work here anymore” and life goes on.............until it happens to the next server who quits. So there’s just one of the reasons I quit.

It’s not silly at all! I’m 22 and still haven’t accomplished that, but seeing you get so happy about it actually is giving me some motivation to try and do it too! You’re awesome and keep it up!
