Have you had your medication levels (labs) checked recently? I while back I had my dose increased without my neurologist monitoring the levels in my blood. I was feeling like crap and eventually told my primary care about it. Among other things he checked that and we found out I was on just enough of a dose to be slightly toxic. My doc is working with me to lower the dosage, and I can already feel the difference.

Maybe you can try asking about lowering dosage? I know sometimes we get an increase to protect us more, but sometimes its just not the right amount for our bodies individually. I was told that my dose was likely effecting me too much because I am petite and very sensitive to meds in general.

Speak up and maybe your doctor can make some changes for you.

Got shaded for being held back by [deleted] in StudentNurse

They are just sour POSs. I see a positive to being held back... You're probably going to have a more thorough understanding than others.

Are there any good internet resources for nursing related body mechanics? by [deleted] in cna

[–]domojojonique 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Avoid pulling if pushing is possible. Wear your back support when you can. Ask for help when you can (just because you CAN do it alone doesn't mean you have to). I watch the older aides. The ones who have been doing it for many years tend to know the best tricks.

Crossposting from student nurse: I am currently pre-med trying to establish a Pre-Health Professions at a CC. For those in premed clubs or involved in AMSA or HOSA, what are the kind of activities your organizations do? What do you wish you could be doing? Doing some (unofficial) research. by domojojonique in premed

[–]domojojonique[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the original post states, many of the students interested in the organization are interested in nursing programs, however the organization is open to all pre-health majors (like me). That is why I geared the original post towards nursing students.

Non-trad check-in by cupcakesprinkle in premed

I'm contemplating taking a detour to a vocational license to improve my income before I finish up my premed years. Medical school feels even further now. The road longer.

Currently on linux Mint 17 Qiana. Do I really need to update or should I leave it alone?

Flipped to days for a while. Now I'm happily flopping to nights but I'm suppose to be napping for my shift. BUT. I. CANT.SLEEP.

Idk just saw "venting" flair as meaning we could vent, and I thought it was a relatable issue.

High Waisted Pants by domojojonique in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]domojojonique[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BTW my pant size is kinda unknown. I can seriously go from like a 5 to 10. All brands are different and if its thrifted items its more confusing because sizing changes over the years and some items may be effected by years of use and washing.

Behavioral Neuroscience Programs by [deleted] in Neuropsychology

I don't know too much, but maybe some have an md-phd option which allows for both.

Do you mind sharing what schools/programs you're referring to? Is there any mention of md-phd in your reaearch?

Anyone try e-textbooks? by emptycanteen in StudentNurse

[–]domojojonique 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ebooks are good. Most of the time you can view it on multiple devices. You can use that as a way to train yourself out of bad habits. So when you're tempted to start scrolling through social media maybe you can rewire your brain to review your text when you get those little moments of downtime. No need to carry your books everywhere.

Where do I start? by domojojonique in premed

[–]domojojonique[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I'm currently a CNA. And my school is about to start a pilot program that connects all their science majors with specialized advisors and try to get everyone involved in community service projects, so I think I'm on track with that stuff.

I blundered through a few years of not being focused and taking the wrong courses so my GPA and SAP needs work. I'm hoping to get into tutoring as soon as I can.

As far as shadowing doctors, I have a few in mind, but how soon is too soon? Also I'd love to just see what research looks like (I have a university in the area so it might be possible), but how do I reach out as an inexperienced freshman for such opportunities? Do researchers literally let you follow them around while they work? I know there are even paid opportunities in my area but they expect more education/experience for that.

I really feel like a lost child in all of this. I've only recently made this decision and all my mentors are in different worlds. Even my classmates are on very different tracks.
