ADVICE FOR FIRST DAY OF NURSING SCHOOL (or any school)

(From an ADHD student)

1. Print out and read your syllabi before class

2. Add any tests, quizzes, hw assignments to your planner, calendar or phone

3. At least skim the required reading before class

4. Print off your PowerPoints or write up an outline so you can annotate in class

Good luck everyone!!! You’ve got this!!

how to study + become a better college student

*i’m in nursing school for reference*

before classes/school:

#1. eat a good, hearty breakfast. i cannot concentrate when i’m hungry because i think about lunch or having a snack. i like to carb up for breakfast (carbs give you energy) and have things like pancakes, french toast, bagels, etc., as well as protein (because that keeps you full) like eggs, turkey bacon, yogurt, etc. i like to take a green powder or a multivitamin during this time to give my body what it needs so that i can function for the rest of the day too.

#2. i always bring water with me to class so that i can concentrate and not think about how thirsty i am. it’s super important to stay hydrated so come prepared.

#3. i know the lesson plan and what’s going to be talked about each day, and if your classes are run like that too, read the chapter or look over whatever it is you’re going to look over today in class to give you a general idea of what you’re going to learn today. this will help you feel like you’re one step ahead (which you are).

#4. wake up early enough to be relaxed in the morning. every time i didn’t perform my best in school was when i woke up and immediately rushed to get ready for class and not took the time to allow myself to ‘wake up’. your mornings should be chill, not a race against the clock.

during classes/school:

#1. actually jot down notes— do not rely on just using your phone to take pictures of the board/powerpoint. when you write your notes down, you get a chance to get that information stuck in your head. what i do if my instructor goes too fast on the powerpoints is: i take a picture of the powerpoint, then i write down what she/he says, then when i get home i rewrite what i took a picture of and the notes that i took in class (i’ll talk about this later).

#2. ask questions— who cares if you’re shy or whatever. asking questions will allow you to be more engaged and it shows your professors/instructors/teachers that you actually care (and they might even bump some grades up for you if you show you’ve taken initiative and tried). every question you ask, write your question down and their response in your notes. i’m telling you, this has helped so much and it gives you such a good look.

#3. use your lunch break for what it is— a break. 30 minutes isn’t a lot of time for an 8 hour day so actually rest and enjoy your lunch during this time. you need a chance to reset.

#4. if you can, always ask to review your tests with your professors/instructors. see what you got wrong and talk it through with them. in nursing school, we generally aren’t able to see what we got wrong on our exams and tests without our professor being there to review them with us. please do this.

#5. use a 1 subject notebook for each class and have pens/pencils that you only use for class. your notes in class should be legible but not super pretty. make your notes pretty at home, not in class.

#6. when taking a test, go over the questions and answers before turning in. there have been so many times i read a question too quickly and changed my answer and i ended up being correct when i looked it over again. don’t make those dumb mistakes.

#7. befriend the other students who do really well in the class. seriously, this will save you.

after classes/school:

#1. when you get home from school, unwind for an hour. take a shower, go to the gym, do whatever you want to do to allow yourself to relax and unwind. you need to take another break after school to regroup and to find a little bit of balance.

#2. review the notes you took in class that day and the pictures you took of the board, and rewrite your notes in a different notebook. so i suggest 2 notebooks for each class— one for your sloppy in-class notes and another for your pretty and organized notes. rewriting your notes will allow your brain to help retain that information.

#3. spend some time each day after rewriting your notes to watch a few videos on youtube about that topic. for nursing school, i like to look at 1-3 videos about what we’re learning to get a wider understanding.

#4. on the weekends, i like to spend 1-2, sometimes 3 hours each day reviewing everything i learned that week. i will watch more videos, i will read over my notes, and i will also create flashcards with my own practice questions in regards to the notes i take and quiz myself with those cards.

100 Days of Productivity [16-17/100]

12.2.23 | December is here! I've got a big group presentation this Thursday, and then another next Wednesday, so I've been picking away at those when I feel well enough. I plan to finish a large portion of this week's project today, including the 2-page paper I have to submit with it.

I started reading "Atonement of the Spine Cleaver" by F.E. Bryce, and I'm enjoying it so far.

if you are 1) currently in a university where your student healthcare covers hormone therapy, and 2) in a good financial, emotional, and social position to start hormone therapy, i would recommend pursuing it. because in my experience, it's a huge pain in the ass to get an endocrinologist once you're on your own

idk who needs to hear this (me) but um word converts pdfs for free all u have to do is open word and then open the pdf the same way you would open a saved word doc. i spent 8 hours today trying to use websites online to convert a literal test bank pdf into a word document and i could have just... opened the pdf while in microsoft word this entire time.

[dustin-but-gayer]

I have a question for anyone willing to share who has delusions or hallucinations:

My nursing has a question that says (roughly since they don't want anyone sharing actual questions): a patient with Schizophrenia says aliens took their blood last night, how should the nurse respond?

1) aliens aren't real.

2) how's your daughter's baby?

3) do you mean a lab tech drew your blood?

4) that doesn't sound real.

I picked 3 but the test says it should've been 4, they say it allows the patient to expand on their belief which can let them talk it through. I didn't pick it bc it felt too aggressive.

Idk what I'm asking exactly anymore but if anyone has tips on how to not be a douchebag while also trying to be therapeutic that would be great!

Diabetes

Introduction to Diabetes

Diabetes, a metabolic disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycemia, arises from abnormalities in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. The condition’s prevalence has reached epidemic proportions globally, with significant health, economic, and social implications.

Types of Diabetes

Type 1 Diabetes: This autoimmune disease results from the destruction of pancreatic beta cells, leading to absolute insulin deficiency. Genetics and environmental triggers play pivotal roles in its pathogenesis. Despite being less common than Type 2 diabetes, its onset during childhood or adolescence significantly impacts individuals’ lives.

Type 2 Diabetes: Predominantly a disorder of insulin resistance, Type 2 diabetes accounts for the majority of diabetes cases worldwide. Lifestyle factors, genetic predisposition, and obesity contribute to its development. Its insidious onset often leads to delayed diagnosis and increased risk of complications.

Gestational Diabetes: Occurring during pregnancy, gestational diabetes poses risks to both maternal and fetal health. Hormonal changes and insulin resistance characterize its pathophysiology. Effective screening and management are crucial to prevent adverse outcomes.

Other Types of Diabetes: Variants like MODY, LADA, and secondary diabetes present unique challenges in diagnosis and management, requiring tailored approaches to care.

Epidemiology and Prevalence

Diabetes prevalence varies across demographics, with disparities observed in age, gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. The escalating burden of diabetes underscores the urgent need for targeted prevention and management strategies.

Symptoms and Causes

Hyperglycemia-induced symptoms like polyuria, polydipsia, and unexplained weight loss serve as clinical indicators for diabetes diagnosis. Understanding the complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors elucidates the condition’s etiology.

Complications

Diabetes complications encompass a spectrum of microvascular and macrovascular disorders, significantly impacting quality of life and life expectancy. From diabetic retinopathy to cardiovascular disease, nephropathy, neuropathy, and diabetic foot complications, the ripple effects of uncontrolled diabetes are profound.

Diagnosis and Tests

Accurate diagnosis relies on comprehensive evaluation, including fasting glucose, oral glucose tolerance tests, and hemoglobin A1c measurements. Screening recommendations aim to identify at-risk individuals early, facilitating timely intervention and risk reduction.

Management and Treatment

Diabetes management strategies encompass pharmacotherapy, lifestyle modifications, patient education, and multidisciplinary care. Individualized treatment plans address glycemic control, blood pressure management, lipid optimization, and prevention of complications.

Prevention

Prevention initiatives target modifiable risk factors through health promotion, public health interventions, and community engagement. Emphasizing the role of nutrition, physical activity, and behavioral changes empowers individuals to mitigate their diabetes risk.

Outlook and Prognosis

Prognostic factors such as glycemic control, adherence to therapy, comorbidity burden, and psychosocial support influence long-term outcomes. Enhanced collaboration among healthcare providers, policymakers, and stakeholders is essential to improve diabetes prognosis globally.

Living With Diabetes

Coping with diabetes requires resilience, self-management skills, and social support networks. Empowering individuals through education, self-monitoring tools, and peer support enhances their capacity to navigate the challenges of daily diabetes management.

Impact on Individuals and Society

Diabetes exerts a profound socioeconomic burden, encompassing healthcare costs, productivity losses, and reduced quality of life. Addressing the psychosocial dimensions of diabetes care is integral to fostering holistic well-being and societal resilience.

Future Directions and Research

Advancements in diabetes research, including precision medicine, digital health technologies, and novel therapeutics, offer promising avenues for disease management and prevention. Collaborative research endeavors aim to translate scientific discoveries into tangible clinical benefits.

Conclusion

In conclusion, diabetes represents public health challenge necessitating a comprehensive, patient-centered approach. By fostering awareness, promoting early detection, and advancing evidence-based interventions, we can mitigate the impact of diabetes on individuals, families, and communities worldwide.

academics: took my midterm. i had a busy day once more but i can say i did my best to work with my capacity and availability.

spiritual growth: meditated a bit on the ego 🗞️ insights below <3

it’s the ego’s nature to form identities and compartmentalized worldviews. the ego will be there for as long as our human lifetime.

in essence, we will always be pure consciousness. but we can be divine and flesh at the same time!

at the end of the day, we want to live a beautiful, happy human life, and spirituality can be harnessed for that. it’s there to guide us if and when the ego must be thinned in favor of the highest good, exactly when it’s needed.

spirituality is not just for awakening; we will always be divine and there is no changing that. spirituality can be used to facilitate earthly healing, growth, and fulfillment.

bonus deposit: i had a work meeting that went beautifully. so excited to challenge myself, learn, and play to my strengths in a way that serves my community.

11.15.23 | STUDY TIP

I’ve made the goal of adopting a study technique I’ve heard called reverse-studying or pre-studying. For my more difficult classes, I review the lecture materials and read the chapters before class, and then supplement my notes with whatever the professor emphasizes during lecture. I only managed to get through 1/3 chapters for today’s lecture because my professor didn’t open up the week’s content until last night, but it still gives me a head start.
