   brittanyjoy91 replied to parkj9's topic in Student Assist

   We were taught that some signs of this would be dizziness or lightheadedness upon standing so if your patient had either of these complaints it would be a good thing to check. That is also a side effect on many anticonvulsant and antipsychotic medic...

2. I cannot focus on studying today

   brittanyjoy91 replied to rubato's topic in General Students

   I hate days like that! Sometimes studying is the farthest thing from my mind and the most important thing I have to do. I like to take a run, grab some water, turn on some music, and refocus. It really helps me to clear my mind and get back in the zo...

6. Just failed 1st exam

   brittanyjoy91 replied to freckles23's topic in General Students

   I usually tend to think the first test is the hardest because I don't know what the teacher is looking for or going to emphasize. I had the same problem last week, only I just barely passed, but I felt like I studied quite a lot of what was NOT on t...
