Good info on line about fixing issues. Repair men here are rediculously espensive-- easier and cheaper to buy a new machine.

I am sorry they are so expensive there. I have had them out here in AL., Ca., FL and they were very reasonable and fixed my washers quickly.

OH YAY! a day spent doing laundry and trying to keep Faith from climbing on top of everything and trying to ride the carts around.

while trying to study for my Pharmaceutical quiz. These meds are doing me in SCG!!!!

THE MEDS ARE THE BEST PART!!

I spent a good portion of my weekend quizzing the resident (lucky enough to get assigned my weekend, the poor thing) about drugs. You should have called in! We could have made it a Jeopardy! ("I'll take how to use this inhaler correctly for $200, SCG") Winner receives a Spiriva Placebo Demonstrator Device!

In all seriousness, the drugs are an awful lot to know.

You might want to purchase drug flash cards for the top 200/300 drugs.

Unfortunately I don't have any idea where mine are, or I'd send them to you (after picking through them for the outdated ones - it's been a while since school). BF says he wasn't that kind of student so he certainly doesn't have them.

A while back you guys were talking about pet peeves. The texting language irks me, but nothing irks me more than a pharmacy student most of the way through school or an actively working pharmacist that can't explain how to use a medication device (and one that they've certainly dispensed - I don't pick something obscure). During an interview I will throw a device at an applicant, and have them explain to me how to use it like I was a patient. It's my favorite question of the interview.

When I interview a nurse I want them to have experienced loads of code blues/cardiac arrests but not on their own patients.
