Sean- Nooooooo :( Sending good vibes that they get you off that waitlist and into the fall class!

Fall too! And congrats to you!

Hey Everybody- Just wanted to let you all know that I received notification of my acceptance via email today, about an hour or so ago. I wish everyone the best, and please feel free to reach out if you want to connect!

Hey all I'm at a crossroads here and really could use some honest advice. I am a pre-nursing student who is seriously starting to doubt my abilities to pursue this career. A bit of background: I was diagnosed with panic attacks and bipolar disorder that is sometimes quite bad when I'm in a depression with paranoia, delusions, etc. It took a while, but I was finally put on some good meds. After a year of no episodes I decided to take the plunge and in January 2018 I began prereqs for nursing school. I went part-time at first because I wasn't sure how I would do. I did well (got an A) and, in the fall, took chem and bio for non-majors (required at my school before you take microbio). Once again, I did well, A's in both. Since then, however, I seem to have lost my footing. I was able to take one class in Spring of 2019 but, since then, every time I try and take classes I end up dropping out, either because of panic attacks or because I can't concentrate well enough to do the reading. My doc (bless him) has been very helpful and all, but the only drug combos that seem to work are ones that leave me feeling too groggy, braindead, etc. I really want to do this but I'm just afraid I'm fooling myself. At my last appointment my doc said that it might be too much and that there's no shame in it, but I think I'm perhaps having a problem accepting this? Any nurses have any experience with anything like this?
