1. Does anyone take adderall????

   nurse2be in ny replied to KrisRNwannabe's topic in General Students

   I take Dexedrine (a component of Adderall) for my ADHD, and it's been a great help. I'm more focused and calm while on it; I can definitely tell a difference when I don't take it.

2. Maxed out student loans??

   nurse2be in ny replied to tennyson's topic in General Nursing

   Is moving an option for you? Not all the way to California, but maybe somewhere closer by where the cost of living isn't as high as NYC and where you might have an easier time finding a job. Upstate NY (where I live) isn't *inexpensive*, but is a h...

5. Curious. How many "older" students

   nurse2be in ny replied to ayndim's topic in General Students

   I'm 41, single mom to a 19 year-old, was working on pre-reqs for an accelerated BSN/MSN program due to start this May. Money issues and a health problem have reared their ugly heads (again), so as of right now I'm not taking classes and had to withd...

6. Question about working as PCT

   nurse2be in ny replied to wonderbee's topic in General Students

   I drew blood and did EKGs as a psych tech in an Emergency Dept. It was on-the-job training (this is in NY). After I'd been doing it for about a year, we did have a "formal" training provided by the hospital, but I was never certified by the state o...

7. Magazine subscriptions- what do you have?

   nurse2be in ny replied to twintoo's topic in General Students

   I subscribe to Nursing2004, but I'm not wild about it. Probably the next one I subscribe to will be AJN.

8. I'm new

   nurse2be in ny replied to icureu's topic in General Students

   I know a lot of people on this board say that getting an NCLEX book (Saunder's, etc.) really helps them on tests in nursing school. I'm not there yet, so I can't tell you from personal experience. Best of luck!

9. 2004 election

   nurse2be in ny replied to BSNgrad2004's topic in General Students

   All I know is, we've got to get Bush out of the White House before he does any more damage. I think Kerry stands the best chance of winning against him, so I'm voting for Kerry.

13. Senator John Kerry (Democratic Prez Candidate)

    nurse2be in ny replied to live4today's topic in Activism

    I'd love to see a Kerry-Edwards ticket myself; I think they'd compliment each other well.

14. Anatomy without chemistry?

    nurse2be in ny replied to momof38160's topic in General Students

    The only chemistry I had before taking A&P I last fall was in high school, *many* years ago. (And I didn't do well in it, either.) I did fine in A&P. Good luck!
