   Okay, I dont know if I'm thinking too much into it, but I'm getting VERY confused! Female is XX, male is XY. So here is my question: For the X-linked Recessive disorders, why would the MALES be affected and the FEMALES only be carriers if the female ...

   Jilaena, your program director needs proof that you are prescribed because ADHD meds have amphetamines in them, which can turn up positive on a drug test.

6. Failed my OB class. What to do?!

   NOLAgirl2 posted a topic in General Students

   I am in my peds/OB rotation right now and I've been having trouble with my OB tests since the very beginning. When I study, I highlight and I talk out loud in ways that help me understand. Atleast i thought I understood. I can explain it, but when it...

8. Checking your patient's dilation.

   NOLAgirl2 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   Okay, so I know that the human body is so different from a mannequin. Today was my first time checking dilation on my patient. Even though my instructor tried to help me, I still didn't quite know what I was feeling. It was weird and I couldn't feel ...

11. How do I avoid the drama and cliques?

    NOLAgirl2 replied to FaithGurl93's topic in General Students

    Learn from my personal experience. TRUST NO ONE! People who you think are your friends and that you confide in will be quick to tell a teacher and get you into LOTS of trouble! Stay to yourself and only help yourself. no one else.
