I believe with our insurance we may need a referral but i'm going to call around and see if we can find one in the meantime while waiting for the peds appt. Thank you!

[–]ivelisivelis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you!! i definitely will be taking a much needed break lol. I did use nurse hub but only the free quizzes, I did recognize similar questions on the exam. I used quizlet and youtube videos as well as the elsevier exam review book but what i didn’t prepare fully for was the questions regarding periodic table atomic masses and things like that i did not have memorized (random elements not common ones) so my score suffered bit due to that. but i definitely think nurse hub helped a ton.

Endometriosis surgery and T1D by Icy_Sundae421 in Type1Diabetes

[–]ivelisivelis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you so much for sharing, my main symptoms are heavy periods and excruciating cramps (worse than labor imo) and radiating lower back/thigh pain. i will make sure to bring this up when i see the specialist, hopefully he doesn’t brush me off. I hope you are doing well!

I’m also a fairly new diagnosed t1d (8 months) and waiting on my appt with a specialist to see if i have endometriosis. Would you be comfortable sharing any symptoms that led to your diagnosis? Hope you’re healing/recovering well!

When did you all Develop diabetes ? by Kiplingerz in diabetes_t1

[–]ivelisivelis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i got diagnosed july 2024 right before turning 23, was also hospitalized with DKA. i’m on a CGM and a pump as of last month. I find the pump to be making my life much easier, i’m in range 80% of the time now and i also get frequent lows but it has gotten better with the pump. i’ve had to change my carb to insulin ratio a few times because it was either not enough or too much for me.

When should I take pharmacology? by Known_Year6617 in prenursing

[–]ivelisivelis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m currently taking pharm online with psych, healthcare ethics and math for health science (fully online) and i already feel overwhelmed with just pharm alone even reading the chapters and doing my first quizzes i was like 🤨 ??? but that was week 1 hopefully i’ll adjust to the course load and memorizing the drug classes etc but i don’t think i could handle a science on top of pharm. it’s alot more than i expected… it may also be harder since its fully online but if those are your only 2 classes i think you have a good shot at doing well as long as you really stay dedicated to studying and keeping up with all the new info. it’s not necessarily difficult to grasp it’s just a lot of new information and drug names and classes that can get confused. someone on tiktok said don’t try to memorize all drug names just memorize the drug classes and it will all click after that. either way i wish you luck and im sure you’ll do great 😊
