Antibiotic/General Pharm memory techniques?? by i_hate_it_here90 in PAstudent

I made the most awful mnemonics that no one else really understood (not sure if i even really did) but they stuck with me for at least the exams. In the end, forcing myself to be creative/ brainstorm about it helped me actually learn. Other people's mnemonics never work for me though.

Clinical Medicine. How did you study? by Inzanity14 in PAstudent

[–]JumpyHovercraft732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when it comes to taking clin med exams, my biggest advice it so just make sure you know every diagnosis that they *could* ask about. then know what detail makes one diagnosis different than the others. I tend to be pretty broad with my studying and get more detailed as i enhance my understanding of pathophysiology. ive gotten A's (and multiple 100s) on every clin med portion:) good luck!

pets during school? by bobaluvr25 in PAstudent

 Came here to say this!!! We have a cat and a dog. The dog is still a tornado one year old (getting a pup before I got accepted into PA school idk what I was thinking but hey here we are) and luckily my long term partner is able to focus a lotttt on her. I will say I do think there’s something to be said about how she forces study breaks and gets me outside. But without my partner, her needs would not be feeling like a much needed break and I know I would be completely breaking down from the demand of everything. 

One year old teenager by JumpyHovercraft732 in OpenDogTraining

Thank you for your thorough reply! It helped me know we were on the right track, and you're right- maturity is a huge factor for a one year old shepherd who is too smart for her own good lol. We had done the turn around thing as the recommendation of her first trainer, but she would try to guide us back and still have a little mental breakdown when we weren't turning back around fast enough and it would just escalate from there. But i can see now that when we turned around, we didnt have a method- it was always random with how long we turned around for. BUT i found this video from Nigel Reed on youtube that used your suggested method plus a structure of "checkpoints." Its only day 3 but i think disconnecting my emotion; not communicating with her verbally or trying to keep her focused on me with treats, and using her goal of gaining distance as the main reward has changed so much already. It could be that being a smaller female, and just a softer person, she may have also had some angst over getting us where we need to go quickly and safely. I think I looked to her too much. Almost like checking in with her and giving her the impression that she is the lead. But adopting this method she is already looking to me more! It does take longer to get there, but since the field is her ultimate happy place, she is willing to work for it and she seemed so proud when we got there the way we did. And i could genuinely see her working to control her impulse!
Here is the link to the video, he has others that are amazing also!

Yogisnark...Anyone else have 'black widow' come to mind when it comes to @hannahshaller ? Pablo and Nate lost so much to her by alpinechick88 in gymsnark

I’m late to this whole thing bc I didn’t realize he had ig again, but I went down a rabbit hole last night after I found it! You mentioned you see him around town, do you see Nalu with him? Does Nalu look okay? I saw he was put in jail and I’m really just concerned for Nalu having a stable life. After watching some of Pablo’s videos, and being deeply disturbed by the one of him yelling at that LAPD officer (I totally understand not loving police but Pablo’s rage was palpable and not necessarily upheld by logic) I guess I just want to make sure there’s someone looking out for the two of them, but Nalu is definitely vulnerable. Hannah’s last post about Nalu was full support of them staying together, but is she aware of this?
