1. NCLEX application. Bipolar ?

   cardiac~lover replied to cardiac~lover's topic in General Nursing

   I see your point PaulW. Whether it's stereotype or statistic, they require this information. I am curious as to how many nurses in this country have ever dealt with Bipolar disorder or depression, or other mood disorders..... I bet those numbers woul...

2. NCLEX application. Bipolar ?

   cardiac~lover replied to cardiac~lover's topic in General Nursing

   I'm not afraid of them denying my licensure at all. I know too many nurses that are on medication for a mental health reason. My thing is that I don't want to do anything to make this whole process longer than it has to be. Providing documentation, l...

   :argue: Seriously guys.

4. NCLEX application. Bipolar ?

   cardiac~lover replied to cardiac~lover's topic in General Nursing

   Sorry, didn't mean to confuse everyone by interchanging the BON and the NCLEX people. I see how it changes the views because NCLEX doesn't 'need' to know. But don't lie to BON. Is this correct?

5. NCLEX application. Bipolar ?

   cardiac~lover replied to cardiac~lover's topic in General Nursing

   Ohio BON home site. Left hand side links- FORMS. Halfway down the page- NURSE LICENSURE BY EXAM/ENDORSEMENT. Then EXAMINATION APPLICATION. It's question number 7.

6. NCLEX application. Bipolar ?

   cardiac~lover replied to cardiac~lover's topic in General Nursing

   Okay. Stanley and Paul W. obviously don't agree on this issue. However I'm actually more confused now than when I was before posting. Between ADA, HIPPA, and BON references. So.... if I admit I have a diagnosis, provide a medication list and physicia...

7. NCLEX application. Bipolar ?

   cardiac~lover replied to cardiac~lover's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for responding. I thought the same thing. If I say yes, I'm not sure what will happen. If I say no (because it is hippa, and I know I am a safe, effective nurse) isn't that lying to the people that hold my world in their hands?

   Hi everyone. Next Thursday is my pinning ceremony!!!! I've finally done it. I've graduated from a practical nursing program. Herein lies the problem. I printed off the NCLEX-PN application to send to boards and one of the questions is to check yes o...

9. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

   cardiac~lover replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

   I was working as an aide in a long term care facility a couple years ago, midnight shift. We turned most of the lights off in the hallways so the residents could sleep. It was always a little creepy walking down the hallways anyway. But one night I w...

    :bluecry1:The time has come!!!!!! I've read all I can, every textbook, website, allnurses sticky forum, every class note, everything I could get my hands on. I do my first real IV stick this week and everything I've learned does nothing to help me ...

13. Electrolyte question

    cardiac~lover replied to cardiac~lover's topic in Student Assist

    Thank you so much for that post. I feel retarded for even asking that :) Thank you though!

14. Electrolyte question

    cardiac~lover posted a topic in Student Assist

    When studying the differences of hypo- and hypernatremia, I'm confused as to why hyponatremia(low sodium) would cause hypertension. I know that when sodium shifts out of the cells, water goes in to compensate causing edema, increased blood volume and...
