  1. Vet prescribed CBD oil for my cat

    bitter_betsy posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I wish I was joking - but sadly I am not. I know that someone here will be able to educate me, and I promise I am being as genuine as I possibly can.... I have an aging cat that is a giant pain in my...

  2. Vet prescribed CBD oil for my cat

    bitter_betsy replied to bitter_betsy's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Someone told me they use it on their dog with cancer and he is responding well. Sometimes I feel like it makes her chill but she wAs never a spunky cat so its hard to tell really. Its for sure not...

  3. MMR Immunity (or not)

    bitter_betsy posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So I went and got my titers that I need for entrance into my program. The titer for MMR came back and shows that I am not immune to either Mumps or Rubella (Rubeola I'm good). I asked the school and...

  4. Vet prescribed CBD oil for my cat

    bitter_betsy replied to bitter_betsy's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thank you... sadly I have both and it seems neither is working. I have the collar loose enough that it slips over her head and I use both the actual litter attractant and the litter itself. None of...

  6. Safety Plan ideas, anyone?

    bitter_betsy replied to J-lynn's topic in School

    Me too - the day she cracked her head - she was lying in the middle of the road that cars routinely speed down. We were so lucky she wasn't run over because the kids left her to come get me (they did...

  7. Safety Plan ideas, anyone?

    bitter_betsy replied to J-lynn's topic in School

    My daughter had something similar going on when she was about that age. We live in the south so we never wear real shoes - flip flops are our shoes. She would routinely get extremely lightheaded and...

  8. Vet prescribed CBD oil for my cat

    bitter_betsy replied to bitter_betsy's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Feliway is so expensive! I read that peppermint is also calming (so is lavender but I loathe lavender). I bought 5 peppermint twist from Bed Bath and Beyond yesterday for less than 1 feliway. Heres...

  9. Vet prescribed CBD oil for my cat

    bitter_betsy replied to bitter_betsy's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I had NO idea that sanitizer did that. I'm already terrified - I have really long hair and decided not to cut it just so that I would have proof if necessary. This stuff may actually be working...

  10. Did anyone work full-time while taking pre-reqs?

    bitter_betsy replied to heartheart09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I too work full time (actually I have 1 full time and 2 part time jobs). I'm only attending school part-time because I'm at the end of my pre-reqs. I start nursing school next semester and plan to...

  11. MMR Immunity (or not)

    bitter_betsy replied to bitter_betsy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I actually emailed them and they said I was fine - but I don't think I really am. We have to upload copies of everything and they have to clear us before we start classes. One statement specifically...

    I live about 60 miles away. Looking for cheap helicopter and pilot to go with... Landing pad would also be nice! The drive is just gonna suck - but moving isn't an option for

  14. Growing pains?? (chronic intermittent leg pain)

    bitter_betsy replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    My daughter had "growing pains" and would pull herself to the bathroom on her elbows because it hurt to walk. After pushing the docs and having them accuse me of munchausen syndrome she was diagnosed...

  18. Is the Universe telling me something?

    bitter_betsy replied to ambie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you been in school lately or did you just recently start back? Maybe the ABSN program was too fast paced for you or maybe you were working too much to focus on school properly? Can you try...

  19. Shoes for nursing students

    bitter_betsy replied to MMM_Y's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am required to wear solid white non-slips with a toe and a heel - so I just purchased NurseMates. They are super cute but not quite as comfy as my Abeo. My abeo are solid black (and don't come in...

  21. Hep B series ??

    bitter_betsy posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So now I know what a toddler feels like after they get all their shots in one day. I haven't had any vaccines that I know of since high school (cough cough 20+ years ago) and I have no records, so I...

    So take my opinion with a grain of salt because I don't start school until January .... but - we have a unique group of people where I live. I learned very early on with them they have some...

    bitter_betsy replied to ChristinaVL's topic in General Students

    Be warned that having a degree changes your financial aid availability. DO NOT complete your degree until you talk with a qualified Financial Aid specialist. I would have waited to take my last...
