  2. Struggling with Dyscalculia/ADHD

    ToxicShock replied to ToxicShock's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I don't see why you wouldn't be able to take anything for the ADHD. I think it may be helpful for you to see a neurologist and psychologist, if you have the money/time. There are certain psych...

    ToxicShock replied to solidus's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Glad it wasn't just me then. Yes, I dislike some of the staff at MCC, but I've had two exceptional teachers that I absolutely loved, and they make up for

  6. about mcc's HESI

    ToxicShock replied to solidus's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I didn't get any helpful hints when I signed up this year. The lady I dealt with was really rude to me and I don't know if it was because of my tattoos, or just because she's a

  7. Pregnant and not know it?

    ToxicShock posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've seen a couple documentaries about women who have been pregnant but they didn't know it until they had the baby. Unfortunately I haven't been able to watch these documentaries in their entirety so...

  9. about mcc's HESI

    ToxicShock replied to solidus's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I can imagine a 95 is pretty damn good, along with a 4.0 or close to it GPA, but I don't wanna get your hopes up

  10. Pregnant and not know it?

    ToxicShock replied to ToxicShock's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, after reading some of these stories... I can now understand the special circumstances behind a woman not knowing she is pregnant. Sounds like a bit of incompetency on the part of some of those...

  11. Pregnant and not know it?

    ToxicShock replied to ToxicShock's topic in General Nursing

    I hadn't thought of that, that makes a lot of sense. I just find it hard to believe that a perfectly healthy 18 year old wouldn't know she was

  12. Not Sure If Nursing Is For Me

    ToxicShock replied to D.C.Guy's topic in General Nursing

    If you think about it, the only people whose butts you are wiping are people who are physically incapable of doing it themselves. Those pt's don't want you wiping their asses any more than you do....

  13. I am a new paramedic... In some hot water, need some help? In trouble?

    ToxicShock replied to paramedic_t's topic in General Nursing

    Was the pt upset that you cut off his undies? If not, I wouldn't stress over it. If anyone was "classless and immature" it would be your coworker for wording it like that! There are more constructive...

  14. Patients sending Myspace Friend Requests!?

    ToxicShock replied to AKAKatydid's topic in General Nursing

    With all due respect, why even bother having a MySpace if you keep it private? It obviously doesn't deter people from adding you... Remember, if you put anything about yourself on the internet, there...

    ToxicShock replied to workintorn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I read the chapters in advance and take notes by hand. I go through my hand notes and type them up. I take hand (or computer) notes in class, and then re-write them when I get home. I also make flash...

    ToxicShock replied to Jelet's topic in General Nursing

    ...Ok, since you seem pretty serious, I think it would be a good idea for you to go to a college near you that has a nursing program and sit down with an academic advisor. They can give you detailed...

    ToxicShock replied to jabraham99's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I plan on taking the HESI at MCC December 13th. I haven't really been studying for it, since I've got a full load at Baker, but I suppose I should. My goal is to be in Baker's nursing program, but if...

    My Mom got tons of these wives tales from her mother. - Swallowing a watermelon seed will make a watermelon grow in your stomach. - If it's an unusually warm day in the fall or winter, and you take...

  22. Server here looking into career switch!

    ToxicShock replied to dancergalhue's topic in General Nursing

    I think it may be beneficial for you to see if you can shadow a nurse. If you're not too familiar with everything a nurse does, I would hate for you to bust your butt in pre-nursing, only to get into...
