MeAnurse?

Just an update, I took everyones advice and got tested for ADHD... I checked off every box. I'm in my second semester now for prerequisets and things are going great. I finished my first course with the highest grade in the class. (That was a firs...

I'm starting my prerequisites next month for nursing so I can apply to start an ADN program next fall. But I'm wondering if my bad memory is going to hold me back or be an issue when I start working with patients. I'm only 26 but I have always had a...

What kind of supplements did you take?

Thanks for all the feedback. I've never considered ADHD because I'm not hyper active. But now that I've read a little about it i definitely fit the inattentive type ADHD symptoms. Do you know what kind of testing they do to diagnose adult ADHD.

That would be correct. I can watch several Seasons of a T.V. show in a sitting without a problem.

Not too shabby. I never played video games but I was the quiet one I suppose.

I for sure will be writing everything I can down. The biggest lie I tell myself everyday is (I don't need to write that down) I'm constantly using my notes app on my phone so I can remember to do things. But it's nothing new to me I had the same pr...

I was a pretty lazy student in High School but managed to get by. Math was my biggest struggle.

I'm considering leaving my federal job of almost 8 years with decent pay and retirement to go to nursing school with the goal of working in Labor and delivery. But I'm really worried about the math and science classes. (Chemistry, biology, any math ...

Thanks for responding. Leaving my job once i get into nursing school is slightly terrifying. But the program I'm hoping to get in is Mon-Thur during the day no night class options. And my job is usually 8-5 so i know i won't be able to stay once I'm ...

How long had you been working before you left to go back to school? Everyone looks at me like I've lost my mind when i tell them I'm considering a career change.

Just a little update. I spoke with my advisors Monday and i actually left feeling much better about this endeavor. I found out i will only need two more classes before i can apply to the ADN program next year. Neither of which are math. So I'm feelin...

Thanks for responding. I'm with you. I have no intentions of leaving my job until I'm actually accepted into nursing school. I'm going to speak with an advisor next week to see what classes i will need so i can find out just how long pre-reqs will ta...

I've just recently started to consider nursing school but I'm a little apprehensive. (Going back to school scares me ********) I have spent my fare share of time as a patient and have many nursing friends and family members so I'm aware of how hard ...

That's what I keep hearing. I would definitely go in with an open mind.

I'd be happy with 2 day weekends.

Well... L&D or pediatric nursing is something that's always been in the back of my mind. But after high school I started community college and this job basically fell in my lap and the pay has been to good to leave considering I only have an ass...

I mean different positions in L&D besides a nurse.

Thanks for all the great suggestions! I submitted my transcript request to be sent to the Community College so I will be making an appointment to talk to an advisor next week. I'm hoping I can place high enough in the math that I wont get stuck takin...

Were you able to get any tuition assistance?

Thanks for responding. I think I will try to get into some evening classes this summer and maybe even a CNA class. My local community college requires that before applying to nursing anyway. I won't be quitting my day job anytime soon. I just hop...
