    Default Terrified of Pharmacology

    Hi! I am terrified of retaking pharmacology. I failed the first time because I was trying to work and couldn't really find the time to read all of the chapters for my pharm class. This time around I am taking the class and not working so many hours. There is so much to read in this class and I have a family outside of nursing school. I really wish I could find a way to get through this without having to give up my entire family for 1.5 years completely. A friend told me about PharmReview. It's an audio chapters, similar to audio books. Basically it's like listening to a book instead it is divided into several chapters per download. Has anyone else heard of this? Anyway, I could use all the help I can get. Good Luck to you all!!!

    The only thing with listening to an audio version is that sometimes you don't catch all the information. I would do both. Listen to the audio, and then anything I don't understand I would go over it in the textbook. The more you familiarize yourself witht he information, the easier it will get!

    I think it will depend on what type of learner you are for you to catch all the information you need in studyng pharma! But doing both listening and reading is really a good idea

    Default Where I go under working stress?

    Where I go under working stress?
    Prior to present job:I had a regular 9-5 and was able to work out regularly.I was doing 531 with sprints and Lift Heavy Things whenever I was short on time.

    Now: I recently got a job working as a bartender, which means late nights. When I work I never go to bed before 3 AM. I don't want to lose sleep so I sleep in whenever I can. I've gotten my sleep pattern down so Im not so tired.

    Wishes:I want to go back to working out hard like I used to, but Im concerned that adding extra stress will just mess with my health instead of improving it.

    Helps: If anyone has any experience with this kind of situation, I'd really appreciate any advice.

    Default What to look for when buying an external hard drive

    What to look for when buying an external hard drive
    An external hard-drive is a very important computer accessory especially if you are always on the go and you need to bring large files. Whenever you have an external hard-drive, it's like bringing the whole computer hard drive with you anywhere you want. Therefore, it would really be a good move to set requirements before you buy your very own external hard drive.

    It is a requirement that you have a thorough knowledge before you even purchase your very own external drive. A thorough knowledge would mean that you need to search online and ask from your friends the best brands and you should know the personal experiences of the users on the different brands of external drives available in your area.

    o Go Branded

    I would suggest that you go from the branded ones. This is not because I work for a certain company but I believe that these companies have already gained trust from their customer that's why they still exist in the market. Another benefit of having branded external drives is the after sales customer support. Whenever we buy non-branded stuffs and we encounter problems after bringing them to our house, we usually have the problem of contacting the manufacturer. The big companies selling their brand of hard drives would surely be more than willing to help their customers whenever they encounter problems with the product.

    o Connection

    Most computers have USB ports of either 1.1 or 2.0 connectivity while some could use Firewire. These are the methods of how the external drives can be connected to the computers in transferring data. You also have to know if your USB port is 1.0 or it already supports 2.0 USB port. Most, if not all, external drives already function with 2.0 ports, therefore, it would be more helpful if you also have a 2.0 post so that data transfer would be speedier.

    o Storage

    External hard drives are available in different storage size that goes up to hundreds. In choosing which one to buy, you have to first determine how you intend to use it. If you would need to bring in with you large files, you may opt for the 500 or more gigabytes but if not, you may just go for the 80 or 120 gigabytes.

    o Compatibility

    The compatibility would not just be on the USB port but also on the operating system that you use. The three most common operating systems include Windows, Mac and Linux. Most external drives are actually compatible with these operating systems but it would still be advisable to the check compatibility of the external drive that you wanted to buy with the operating system that you have.

    o Design

    There are different designs of external drives. You can go for the stylish formal ones or the multi-colored ones. The option actually remains on the end user and his intended use. The size of the drive should also be a consideration. It would be better to have smaller drives when you are always on the go since they would surely weigh lighter but the decision would still depend on you. However, you should ensure that the drive has shock protection so that your data would at least be more secured.

Some hard drives are manufactured for different types of computers, for instance, there are hard drives made for Alienware, Compaq, Dell, Asus, MacBook and Thinkpad specific computers.

The way this works is because every time they do something on your computer, the PC has to search for those files on the hard drive. If it can't locate them very quickly, then the computer is not going to run quickly.
