3. Will being on anxiety medication hinder me from becoming a RN?

   squeakercarp replied to Amdecl6's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It should be perfectly fine. Sad but true.... most of my cohort is on antidepressants. We are subjected to huge amounts of pressure and I don't see how anyone wouldn't have anxiety. I am on wellbutrin 150mg and it has just helped me be able to focus ...

   squeakercarp replied to BajanCherry's topic in General Students

   sounds like she isn't very humbled by the fact that she is in nursing school. It took me three tries to get in, so I know for damn sure that it is a PRIVILEDGE for me to be here and I do 100% my own work and the very best possible work I can do. If b...

   squeakercarp replied to ashley126's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Sam, you have no idea how normal you actually are! Getting into nursing school is hard and very mentally trying. It took me 3 tries to get into the nursing school I am enrolled in (nau only takes 30 students out of 600 a semester). The first time I ...

10. Depression. I have lost faith, please help.

    squeakercarp replied to Nursing-NS's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am commenting on this because I can almost exactly relate to your situation. Throughout high school I could pull pretty good grades by just paying attention, so I went into college with absolutely zero study habits. I originally wanted to become a ...
