So I've been researching this because I am in sticky situation. According to the FDA baking soda is a food. Its when compounded that it becomes a medication. Baking soda if considered a medicine would have to have to be labeled as a medicine. Baking soda is not even labeled as a medical food unless compounded. There is no standard or procedure just like prune juice, butter, pickles, bananas, yogurt. All of which can alter bodily function. Baking Soda is used as a tooth paste or mouth wash or on a tender tooth much like peppermint tea is used for upset stomach; no order needed it comes from the kitchen. We would obtain an order for sodium bicarb like we get an order for Pepto Bismal. I'll keep researching

I recorded my lectures and used a smart pen. I went to the instructor and asked what I should focus on. I also asked if he could tell me what to focus on during the exam. I also took pics of the slides in the microscope to study at home and made screen slides. I spoke to the professor and asked who in his classes is doing well that I could pair up with. Also google your professor and see if others wrote about his exams meaning if he tested as he taught or where there surprises. Just a few ideas

It's hard to make new friends and sometimes hard to hold on to old friends, its the side effect of change. I suggest you invite your friend to lunch and have an open and honest conversation and tell her how you feel. That is what you do with true friends; then just let it go. This maybe her way to transition. Nursing school can be just as clicky as any other school. Keep your eyes on your goal, (your RN license). Even though you both started your journey together you still have a journey within that journey that is your own, hold on to that. Do not let her distractions distract you. Nursing school is hard and moves fast. Stay focused, she'll be there when its over and you'll be there when its over for her.
