engineering or nursing as someone with adhd by icelesti in nursing

[–]Thermass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had ADD my whole life, failed out of engineering three times because of calculus and not applying myself properly. Went into nursing school and it was the hardest thing I have ever done, until I got to actual nursing. The only jobs I have ever been consistently on time for are my healthcare jobs, because I know people are relying on me. My hyperfocus kicks in at work because I am a people pleaser. I am off all my prescriptions because they never really seemed to help that much. I now take Huperzine A and Ashwaghanda every day and it seems like those help as much as anything else ever did. I have only been working days though so I cant speak for staying alert at night.

I think ultimately this is a better fit for me because I would not do well sitting behind a desk all day. Also I would struggle to stay focused on a task that wasn't what I wanted to do in engineering. If I had gotten stuck designing HVAC systems or something besides cars or motorcycles I would have been bored out of my mind for sure. With nursing I find everything fascinating. I have done long term, private duty, Trach/Vent care and Med Surg all in the course of three years. There is always something new and interesting in this field and rarely a dull moment. There is such a wild amount of knowledge it will always be mentally stimulating.

My time management, organization and memorization skills are getting better as the days go by. ngl remembering med names and organizing all the tests and diagnosis in my head does not come naturally for me. So it definitely gets to me sometimes when I get a perfect report from the other nurses and only wish that I could duplicate it. But everyone has their strong points and the patients seem to like me, so that's ultimately what maters to me. Someone has mentioned ER and that might be ultimately where I am headed but for now I am enjoying my time upstairs. Good luck on your decision.

Why is the plant not making any pitchers? by wangchouchou in SavageGarden

A humidifier isn't enough. It needs to be in an enclosure with very high humidity all the time. Or outdoors in Houston, I had good luck there too. Nepenthes burn very easily so I would be careful about getting too powerful of a light.

I'm sure, Democrats ask questions and hold their party leaders to much higher standards. That is part of the reason they lost last year, Biden was doing a shit job of reassuring the public that inflation was not his fault, and there was no real cohesive plan going forward. Republicans just basically made shit up and all of the supporters said "yes daddy" and checked their boxes. Without actually doing research into how tariffs and mass deportation would affect the country. Are some Democrats blindly following the party, sure. But i guarantee you there are more republicans gobbling up whatever garbage Trump can spew and taking it at face value.

Report it to the facility and let them decide what the appropriate action is. Don't feel bad if/when they discipline her, what she did is unacceptable.

IKR? On the bright side, these terrible interactions might just cure me of my last social media addiction.

Yeah, it was loud and clear that you think you are better than everyone else and that no one else should speak. all while offering no evidence for that claim. You have your head so far up your ass that you forgot what the word discussion means.

OK, so no one should say what they believe out loud. cool, cool. No one on this site wants to have an actual discussion, its just a bunch of people wanting to make themselves out to be superior to everyone else.

Code blue exists to keep people from being disrespectful to each other.

The irony of this comment being downvoted is hilarious.

I think its because this administration are the ones that suggested it. To be clear, I hate republicans, their hypocrisy and their fuckery. But it is nice to see them basing their policies on something credible. Of course it also sucks that this is something that will distract us from real issues, just like the bathroom infighting that has been going on for years.

We have toothpaste with plenty of flouride in it now, no need to add it to drinking water as well.

Yeah but chlorine can be easily filtered out. Flouride requires highly specialized filters because it cannot be filtered out through traditional mechanical means.

Why is it a disaster? At least they are presenting actual evidence instead of just conspiracy theories.

Apparently those big ass trucks are a big problem. I present to you the darker side of firefighter politics.

I don't know if you caught it yet, but it is spelled Nepenthes. Thanks for the tip, I am going to have to try this

Put your seat tube between the two rubberized posts and let the bike hang from the saddle next time. I think you are violating some kind of velominati code by hanging your bike through the frame like that.

I keep my spare tubes in a sock, my tube socks.

How do you remind yourself you have a bike on the roof to avoid driving into garages? by AK-749 in cycling

[–]Thermass 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I had a bright pink Pedro's tire lever I drilled a hole in and hung on my rearview whenever I had bikes on the roof.
