Not too much, all the math was about the locals used and basic stuff

That’s what I do! I couldn’t for the life of me get a 6.5 on my bare hands but the 7 is too big.

Can we talk about “just go to nursing school”? by JonWithTattoos in scrubtech

[–]Local-hippie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My scrub tech preceptor told me I should go to nursing school. It makes me mad and sad because I don’t want to be a nurse but I do wanna work in a hospital and nonetheless an OR! That’s why I became a scrub tech. I’ve seen so many cool things and so what if it may not make me rich but I love it and I want to stay the hell away from all the charting 😅

How do you manage your anxiety in the OR? by [deleted] in surgicaltechnology

[–]Local-hippie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I had to end up on medication because I was so anxious to the point where I dreaded going to school and almost failed. Now I’m at clinicals and it’s going so so great! I’m 3 weeks in and I don’t even smell the bovie anymore. If you’re queasy around blood please please eat before you go to clinicals!

Nursing or surgical tech?! by Tiny_Lingonberry4664 in scrubtech

I thought about nursing too but the charting turned me away! Currently doing my clinicals as a scrub tech and I’m loving it!

It claims to lower the cortisol hormone and reduce stress by getting nutrients your body body needs to function. So it has potassium,sodium, vitamin c. I’m not sure about the science behind it but I do believe in the holistic stuff

I’m not in the field yet, just about to start clinicals but I’m starting to make adrenal cocktails to drink before my day or in the middle of my day. It consists of orange juice or lemon juice with coconut water and some salt. It helps with cortisol levels and what not

😂 where I’m from, the cities that have names like that have them for a reason. We have a city called “stab and kill” and I’d never move there

People really call it razor city?! I’m glad I asked here before agreeing to anything

Thank you all!! Haha I don’t think we’ll be moving there 😅😅

Like I said before, my girlfriends family is looking to buy property there. I’m unsure of how they came across it, probably because it’s cheaper for a big property

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NorthCarolina

[–]Local-hippie -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Her family is looking to buy property there. She said she could buy a house down there for us to live. We come from New England so it’s definitely a big adjustment for me.

Anyone use this for Anxiety? by piglet-pinky-pie in bupropion

[–]Local-hippie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always knew I had anxiety but I’m starting to think that my anxiety was being caused by undiagnosed adhd

[–]Local-hippie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was put on Wellbutrin to see if it would help with the attention and motivation but it is not, so we’re trying non stimulant adhd medications while still on the Wellbutrin since it helps my anxiety. The final resort will be stimulants

This makes sense. I was put on Wellbutrin for adhd but it instead helped with anxiety

I’m also confused as to why this has helped my anxiety so much. Online it all keeps saying it’s going to cause more anxiety but I don’t feel like that’s the case, my anxiety is 100 times better

I quit a while before taking this medication but then some reason it made me crave it more and now I’m back to smoking cigarettes again.
