  1. My dentist does this! Thanks!! You saved my life!
  2. Cant explain stuff simply. Like if a patient asked me what aquired immunity was, it would take me awhile to explain. I try very hard but sometimes Im just not good at explaining. Do you think this will effect me? I understand but with. Visualization, so its hard to explain verbally
  3. Yea, Albert Einstein isn't full correct on that. I can't explain what I know simply, no matter how good I know it.
  4. I make flash cards and basically memorize the definitions. If someone asks me for the definition of a word, I'll visualize what it said on my flash card and tell them. Does anyone else do this?
  5. I understand it. Im just asking if both occur.
  6. So even if there is less sodium in extracellular fluid, the water in the intracellular fluid goes there?? Are you sure? I dont think it follows it all the time.
  7. If you have low sodium blood levels, how is homeostasis maintained? Osmosis and diffusion? Water will travel into the cell? Sodium in cells will move out to the bloodstream?
  8. I'm not in nursing school yet, but I love doing this! Hopefully Ill love being a nurse! I here a lot of nurses state that some people don't know how to use critical thinking, and can't apply the facts they know. I can use critical thinking for simple things. I just hope I can for more complex things., I usually just use critical thinking for simple things. My family drinks alcohol every week lol.. They complain about dehydration, constipation, migraines, etc. Their eyes are bloodshot after drinking... Did they have enough sleep? Dehydrated? What day of the week is it? Friday? This is very simple, I know... I do this kind of stuff everyday though before I even knew about nursing. Well, I have to explain to them why they experience those issues. Hopefully it's a good sign. I figured that it's hard to maintain homeostasis the older you get, so that's probably why older people are at higher risk for hypothermia. I also noticed old people are found dead in their houses when it's really hot. I guess it does show that I can apply facts. Can't everyone do this? Why do nurses say that some nursing students can't?
  9. Right side of my head is flat at the start of the ear.. How can I still function normally? Not sure lol. But medication for my ADD helps with this. I'm exactly like you lol. I'm glad I'm not the only one, I usually feel like I'm dumber than others too and I feel dumb when I try explaining things and it comes out bad. Sometimes I'll have trouble explaining simple things around the house. I still can explain though, thank god! I. Glad I'm not the only one, I felt so alone! I think if I keep trying my best I can make it! thanks
  10. Everything sounds crammed in nursing school even though your really not cramming.
  11. Was nursing hard when you first started? Like right after you passed the NCLEX? What was assessing and diagnosing like? What were you thinking?
  12. I wish I could replace those brain parts that are impaired. I also figured out why I get this blank mindess too. Since i dont know how my statement will come out, Its hard to find words that fit it. Just have a hard time thinking i guess. When I use critical thinking, I dont really think or talk in my head. Its more like when you see a bannana up in a tree and throw a stick at it without thinking. Thats how i actually think. Thanks, im going to find a speech pathologist in my area then. I have ADD and have been taking adderall for 2 months but it doesnt seem to help, maybe because its a very low dosage. Gonna see psychiatrist then too. I know that some people with ADD have similar symptoms, but it doesnt affect them as much. My mom and sister have the similar symptoms but they dont really have trouble talking. I just hope things get better for me. Im trying so hard and its like nothing is happening.
