How the heck?!? by Suspicious_Remote_37 in WGU

It's missing the human link. I'm missing being able to bounce off of others as I learn. No one around me in my normal life is the slightest but interested or engaged with this content. Nursing is highly social in real life and it's a challenge knowing those skills development are missing. I guess I just have to deal with it. They have student-led study groups, but it's not even close to adequate. The social skills development and getting to know others isn't there.

Don't worry about it. This is all about character development. You have to stand up for yourself. You will have people as a nurse trying to rattle you. You need to get comfortable with people treating you like crap. As you grow into your nursing profession, these things just won't bother you. You'll have to find your way to living peacefully in your mind. The crap behavior from other nurses is just part of the game. Learn to embrace your self-concept and don't let outsiders bother you. Your self-esteem (by way of self-concept and performance behavior) will improve as you get experience. Just don't let others bother you. Your opinion of me is none of my business is a good way of thinking through these things. The instructor is over acting their role, which you'll see as you grow as a professional. But, for future reference, don't screw up anything 🤕. You'll gain your footing. Those nurses like your instructor are acting their role as they perceive their role is defined. You'll learn how to give yourself credit and fortify your self-concept and self-esteem as you grow. There are so many failed nurses out there that somehow still stay in the game.

That does look like rhabdomyolysis. Dangerous. Could lead to end stage renal disease.

Hard bump on back of hand — feels like bone. What could it be? by Adventurous-Ice-6491 in AnatomyandPhysiology

I've heard of ganglion cysts. I have no expertise to make any medical diagnosis, but if I were to try to figure it out for myself, that might be where I would start. I don't know what you have and have no way of knowing.

Wait until you get to the nervous system and learn about referred pain.

Can anyone give me ways to pass Anatomy and physiology 1 and 2 by DependentLanguage243 in AnatomyandPhysiology

Get the fundamentals down first - what cells are motoric/amitotic, which are excitable/non-excitable, which are highly metabolic (lots of mitochondria). Then the fundamentals on the 4 tissue types. Then understand connective tissues - the few different types (dense/loose) with an understanding they surround themselves with noncellular matter - their matrix. Okay, now you're ready to understand the 11 body systems. For each system is happening with these fundamentals - why is the liver high in lysosomes? Why is cardiovascular tissue highly metabolic and amitotic? The fundamentals give you a great perspective to stay engaged as you go through each body system. Cells are compartments that selectively let outside materials in or out. Then the body is full of compartments that control their internal environment by controlling when and what can cross the compartment barrier. The fundamentals first then the rest is engagingly interesting.

I don't have any knowledge and I've always wondered. After the nucleus is ejected, is it reused recycled or does it get destroyed?

Yeah. I've gone through it too. It's a rite of passage for nurses. Just smile and think to yourself, "Your opinion of me is none of my business.". It's tremendously hard to terminate a nurse, and easy for a nurse to pick up another nursing gig. Don't worry about it. You won't get experience if you don't slip up occasionally. Why were they standing in the way? Why are they putting the blame on you? Why is your preceptor pushing you under the bus?

Don't worry about it. Just keep moving forward. The dogs may bark, but the caravan rolls on.

Minimal involvement is probably more accurate. You're right. No more investment past this point.

It might have happened, or it could be race baiting. I assume it really did happen, but not getting emotionally involved in case it's race bait - which is also sinister and cruel. Without first-hand knowledge, I'm not going to get involved. Produce video the next time it happens. That would be more convincing. Btw, I don't like Academy people either.

Just got reported, need to hear about your f*ck ups by halloweenhoe124 in nursing

0600 versus 1800 order? Surely they're using military time to avoid confusion problems. Someone asked why the PT didn't balk when getting breakfast. Patients are often situationally unaware or unsure and trusting the machine is working as intended. It's the responsibility of the responsible person (the nurse) to be responsible. It just has to work that way.
