Gained 18 pounds, but have lost 5 lately. It's very easy to put on weight the first half. New friendships, going out to eat, stress eating, celebrations, etc...I began cutting back on the junk,...

My best advice is to keep your comments to yourself. Don't be 'that' person. I am one that reviews a powerpoint once, an hour or so before an exam and I pass the test. I never read my book. I'm...

I did not get to assess the pt. We get our pt info from the chart, diagnose then tell our diagnosis in pre-conf the next morning. Only thing I really have to go by is the fact the pt was injured from...
