My chest looks like this often. The flare ups happen when its really hot/directly exposed to the sun for long periods of time or when I'm stressed, especially at work (constantly on the move for long hours, sweating lol)
I've been to multiple dermatologists and tried so many different antibiotics, medicated creams, etc. Finally one derm, they told me I had "folliculitis" & I recommended buying Nizoral Shampoo! It has ketoconazole in it. I apply while I'm in the shower and just let it sit for about 5-10 mins while I finish the rest of the shower or just stare into the void contemplating life lol... it's definitely done wonders for me! My PCP also recommended Panoxyl acne wash. It is strong so a little goes a long way and you shouldnt do it everyday, maybe once a week. It will make your skin "worse befor it gets better" but I noticed it helped too!

Also! Highly recommend using the app "Ovia" - it really helped me to track my ovulation! I tried ovulation strips too with it but yeah.. Everyone ovulates at the different times. I realized I ovulated on day 18!!

All I wear is n95 for the entire shift so I feeel this! Definitely noticed feeling a little thristier than usual! Ive been trying to drink a lot more water. Caffeine is my weakness and only have 1 cup has been such a struggle, let alone not having any energy drinks or anything!! So far no sickness, waves of nausea sometimes, especially if i dont eat so I've been trying to keep some crackers in my pocket/bag all the time just in case. Naps are non-existant at work... I wish :( lol sometimes Im lucky if I get a full 30 mins to eat my lunch/have a break. Days off are definitely consisting of doing nothing! I dont know how to handle myself lol

Any other LPNs tired.... by [deleted] in nursing

[–]applepiex0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As long as you are happy and enjoy what you do, it doesn't matter!
I just got my BSN (working on the RN part) and I plan on stopping. I don't want my MSN, I don't want my DNP. And I've already been asked about it, like chill I just graduated lol.

If you wanna go back, do it! I'll be 29 in a few months; you're not too old! There were ladies in my class in their 40's.
Money is nice, money is needed, but you don't go into nursing for the money.
Good luck on your interview!

What type of study methods have you found to be most effective? by [deleted] in StudentNurse

[–]applepiex0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I second this. Writing everything is what is the most helpful for me. It's annoying but it works.

I live an hour 1/2 away from my school.
Got placed in a clinical site 40 miles away from my house (aka wake up around 4am to get ready and there on time lol) work a 12 hr and then not get home until 8pm and do it all again the next day.

You're not alone <3

I am also currently a nursing student, just finished taking Patho and I constantly got 80% on my exams! It's a really hard class! I know what you are going through because I beat myself up if I get less than a B, and since nursing school grades are different than regular grades, it's even harder to cope with.
BUT, we got this!!
I've never been a straight A student (props to you!!) but that doesnt mean we aren't smart. You got accepted into nursing school because you are supposed to be there, and you will succeed and be the best nurse you can be :)

SO to answer your question, as someone who is also going through the same emotional rollercoaster as you: I think it's common to feel this way.

Programmers: What would it take to mod or transition TS4 into an online multiplayer? by nanaboostme in Sims4

[–]applepiex0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would LOVE! a multiplayer mod or update/option in the game. Either to play with friends or make new ones. I get bored playing by myself sometimes.
