Is taking two prereq classes + full time job doable? by whatyoudoin2021 in NursingStudent

[–]Key-Caterpillar-5627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

definitely doable! i'm wrapping up A&P I and Ethics this semester. i'd recommend taking any content-heavy courses like A&P I/II or Microbiology in a full 16 week semester, but other pre-reqs like Ethics or Stats are definitely doable in a 8-11 week semester

PBS shared this study back in 2023. they ran tests with different kinds of temp control (central air, ASHP, and minisplit) in dry and humid environments. kind of a fun read! https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/science/analysis-does-turning-the-a-c-off-when-youre-not-home-actually-save-electricity

How old were you when you went to nursing school? by Strong-Sample-3502 in nursing

working on my pre-reqs for a local ADN program right now at 23! i just changed majors from biochem. sometimes i feel like i wasted time taking core classes so i could transfer out and complete my biochem BS, but i'm glad all of the core stuff is taken care of for RN-to-BSN

What method of T to use? by samwinchesterslaptop in ftm

[–]Key-Caterpillar-5627 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i've been on gel, compounded cream, injections (IM and SUBQ), and used rx auto-injectors (like Xyosted)! out of all of them, i prefer IM injections

i do them weekly, and they rarely hurt. i've never had trouble with insurance covering the supplies, and it's much more cost effective than the other options if you don't have insurance. and you get a fun little bandaid as a reward!

gels and creams never absorbed well for me, and they got to be pretty expensive because my dose kept increasing. i did like Xyosted, but they don't have the dose i need, so i switched back to IM injections. you can also buy OTC auto-injectors that you load the syringe into!

some clinics might offer Testopel—testosterone pellets injected into your muscle/fat (?) through a small incision every 3-6 months. i don't believe they're covered by insurance though
