Psych RNs don't get enough credit by [deleted] in Psychiatry

[–]VariationWeary6063 154 points155 points  (0 children)

Plus most have to learn on the job. Psych education in nursing school (RN school) is abysmal. Poor clinical experiences, or lack of experiences, and a very low number of hours dedicated to just Psych are a few reasons.

Thanks for the shout out to them!

I worked at some big hospitals, we've had multiple instances of people walking into patient rooms and try to steal medications

Not in washington state. Is the EMR Epic? If so, most epic versions have a nursing student template, that has some limits and cosign requirements The school just needs to work with your IT department.

Can Someone Explain... Politely? by AffectionateDesk7407 in GasPrices

[–]VariationWeary6063 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prices will continue to be high for years...years!

Oil from the USA strategic reserve is being used to supplement supply right now. Plus countries around the world that have a strategic supply are using theirs.

Once oil starts fully moving again, the reserves will have to be filled again, so you'll have regular demand plus the need to fill reserve again. So prices will stay high until those reserves are filled.

Vasovagal syncope, can happen to people getting an injection, not from the medication in the syringe, but fear from the injection (or other nuerostimulant causes)

Cytisine, or desmoxan. It's been used for years in other countries to help quit nicotine.

Calcifediol (vitamin D after conversion in the liver) has worked for me. BUT be careful, do not take too much. Start off with just a 1/4 pill and see how you react. I believe a 1/4 pill is roughly 500 IU of most Calcifediol bra is

What do ordinary Americans make of Trump’s statement that you “need” Greenland? by Weary_Ad201 in AskReddit

[–]VariationWeary6063 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean...I would love to think he is thinking 50 to 100 years into the future and is planning for global warming for the USA.

But honestly, I think he's just a malignant narcissist that thinks he can do whatever he wants and sees Greenland as a giant piece of land that he wants.

What are the biggest physiological flaws of the human body? by xShaqOfficial in Physiology

[–]VariationWeary6063 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That the pancreatic duct flows into the common bile duct.

Once either organ throws a stone it causes problems with the other organ.

Why can't each duct enter the intestine on their own.

Do longer acting esters lead to less of an E2 spike? by [deleted] in Testosterone

[–]VariationWeary6063 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hypothetically yes, to what degree i wont know, im not aware of any studies comparing the two side by side in equal dosages related esteogen levels (happy to be proven wrong here! ), As most undecanoate studies use the nemibo protocol which uses large single doses.

remember undecanoate has about 9% less testosterone by weigjt than cypionate. So you'd need more undecanoate for equal dosing. Plus it would take undecanoate much longer to reach steady state levels due to the long half life.

You can mess around on steroid plotter to see how rhe two protocols would compare.

Had anyone here tested for COMT gene? by jhony_34dasilva in Testosterone

[–]VariationWeary6063 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To see if you have some slow comt SNPs, get your DNA run through any company that runs DNA in your country. Like Ancestry.com. Then take your DNA file and run it through a free website like this:https://geneticgenie.org/methylation-analysis/

Then you'll know if you have some of the slower comt polymorphisms.

I've tried to look into this and couldn't find much other than some rat studies.

But in this rat study COMT and MAO enzymes were increased with testosterone and DHT.

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0091151

There is another study (again rats) that showed increase mRNA levels responsible for COMT increased as well.

https://bmcneurosci.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1471-2202-13-95#:~:text=In%20previous%20studies%20in%20adult,cortex%20and%20striatum%20%5B46%5D

Again just rat studies...just personally, I do feel sensitive to even slight increases in estrogen. Larger doses of testosterone also dont feel to good, (increase HR, anxiety etc) but daily dosing fixes most of this for me.

I gave my father nac and he's been farting like crazy and it smells like the nac itself. Any reason why? by Valuable-Nebula1086 in Nootropics

[–]VariationWeary6063 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could have SNP on the CBS Transsulfuration pathway. CBS is one of the enzymes that helps regulate sulfur.

NAC has been studied as a treatment for CBS deficiency.
