   Actually, I used it before on the back of my hand to get permanent marker off, dumb idea, had a huge scab after a day or so. Its abrasive.

2. Terrible clinical day!

   RunnerLuv replied to RunnerLuv's topic in General Students

   Yeah this past week was a blow up of any and everything that could go wrong. Definantly exacerbated the anxiety. I think I just needed to get it out. I see now I probably wont get coping advice from any fellow sufferers with this post. It was worth a...

4. Terrible clinical day!

   RunnerLuv posted a topic in General Students

   I THINK this could be considered a vent... or even me asking for some tips from people who have dealt with anxiety. Today at clinicals I was making my best effort to have a good day despite a very emotionally draining week relating to family issues a...

5. Older students biased against younger students?

   RunnerLuv replied to Stephanieee's topic in General Students
