1. I'm so tired

   me-too replied to patricianyc's topic in General Students

   Hi That Guy: I am often dragging through my day especially now with school. So, I eagerly tried your advice about eating breakfast followed by healthy snacks. And, I can't believe the "immediate" difference it made. Thanks again!!

2. Advice on how to handle extreme anxiety

   me-too replied to Becky8's topic in General Students

   Hi, I am also in my second semester of another program but I suffer from extreme anxiety. I also find that no matter how much I study, and prepare myself, that as soon as I enter a lab, my brain freezes. I agree that meds have made me too sleepy to...

3. How do you get through the end of semester lazies?

   me-too replied to ScrappinSpidey's topic in General Students

   Thanks everyone for your great ideas.... Man, I am still struggling with "end of semester lazies" even though the semester is formally over. I still haven't taken my final and had to get an extension because I got sick during the exam week. And, I ...

4. Anyone with Anxiety issues

   me-too replied to ThinkRNin2009's topic in General Students

   Hi Kelly, A quick question for you: Why do you mark a big X on the back of your test booklet?

5. What wakes you up in the morning?

   me-too replied to redtshirt's topic in General Students

   I like fresh brewed iced tea mixed with a splash of lemon-and-limeade drink that I buy in the grocer's cold food section. I use it to wake me up in the morning or throughout the day.

6. Going onto week four, and I feel so alone in NS.

   me-too replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

   I feel alone in my program too and I thought it was because I was an older student. Before my program began, I looked forward to interacting with one or two people in my classes. But, the "darndest thing" is that the few people in my class stick to ...

7. How to hide anxiety?

   me-too replied to TeresaRN2b's topic in General Students

   I'm not a nurse but I do suffer from anxiety. Presently, I'm enrolled in a program where I will also receive scrutiny from my instructor and ultimately board examiners from the state in order to receive a license. Someone told me that anxious people...

9. Quitting?

   me-too replied to claire123's topic in General Students

   AMEN.... I just started school this week and the pressure is already "intense." I can't believe I'm feeling and I've only been in school two days!! I've been denying my feelings (of being overwhelmed) until after school today when I was standing i...

10. I feel like I'm being singled out VENT

    me-too replied to Dr.Nurse2b's topic in General Students

    Sometimes whether you're right, or not, is not the issue. The issue here is politics. And, possibly your instructor feeling threatened?? (perhaps...) But, although I didn't get a chance to read all the replies, I haven't seen this said and that is, ...

11. It's not mono! What do you guys do to stay healthy?

    me-too replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Students

    Hi all, I have stay-healthy advice that "confounds" me but it has worked for my sister all her life. And, she's in her mid-forties and has rarely been sick. 1) She rarely worries about anything. (Now, I'm not sure how she does it.) But, I think that ...

12. Getting in shape/Losing weight in pre-nursing/NS support thread

    me-too replied to wishNhopeNdreamN's topic in Stress 101

    Hi there: I am responding to your post. In it, you mentioned a decrease in posters to this wt-loss thread. So, I wonder: is there still a wt loss group here? I wrote to this group as a whole because 99% of my pms have not been answered for a long p...

13. Getting in shape/Losing weight in pre-nursing/NS support thread

    me-too replied to wishNhopeNdreamN's topic in Stress 101

    I would like to understand why I have been exluded from your weight loss group. Specifically why some people in this group have stopped pm'ing me--even when I have asked them for replies. And, I no longer receive wt loss stats. At first I thought...

14. PTSD- Am I alone??

    me-too replied to strugglingnurse's topic in Disabilities

    I have PTSD for years and have given up trying to find a therapist. Generally, I get by trying to live as if I don't have the disorder. Mostly, I am successful by ignoring it. I feel PTSD has already taken too much from me. The other day however, I...

15. I get sqeemish!

    me-too replied to Laylani's topic in General Students

    I FEEL EXACTLY AS YOU DO ABOUT ANYTHING INVASIVE, INCLUDING GIVING IVs OR DRAWING BLOOD. I CAN'T IMAGINE BEING ABLE TO USE NEEDLES IN A VEIN---EVEN JUST TO GET THROUGH SCHOOL. Being told to practice does not address a phobia. AS A RESULT, I AM ...
