I already have a degree in occupational therapy and work in that field now as well but have always wanted to become a nurse. Unfortunately didn't get diagnosed with ADHD until my 3rd year in bachelor program and at that time was really struggling and didn't make it so did take time off and got my emotion, and meds under control. I have been very stable and doing very well in my classes. It has only been since last wed. that Ive been down and know I need to see my doctor ~ going today. Yes, my writing was all over the place last night but it was late and Im still down about this situation. Im trying to appeal this decision and hoping my doc will write a letter or have some input to help me. If u have positive info or know of a way for me to either cont. or complete a nursing program let me know. Thanks.

got a question my advisor mentioned Excelsior college to me -- does anyone know about this college, what they have to offer, and how it works is it totally online, what do u do about clinical work? I looked online at there site but couldn't find any info on what is done for clincal exp. If any of you have gone there or know about can you please respond thanks a bunch.

Thanks everyone for your support. To answer ur questions: Calming down is good unfortunatley was just one of those days, we all have them from time to time. After taking meds, next day went to speak with both my advisor and director of nursing again but got no where. My advisor had just given her notice and director of nursing doesn't even want to listen. No, there is no camera in the room its just an empty teacher office with a desk and chair. In our student handbook it says disciplinary action can be from withdrawal without credit from the class all the way to dismissal. I recieved a letter from the director saying she was withdrawing me with out credit for the class. Thought I had a glimmer of hope due to this letter sounded to me and my family as if I could repeat class, but when I spoke with my advisor thats when I was informed dismissed and that director can only withdraw me from class and that I would be receiving another letter from Dean of Health Science saying ive been dismissed. Well, still have not received this letter. Also, my advisor informed of me of appeal process but stated that the director told her that I wont get back in becasue the next person for me to speak with is dean of health science and this person would ask director what her recommendation is - - answer is NO. Per director of nursing she has informed all my professors and clinical instructors not to speak with me. So this has made it difficult to try to even see if someone would write a recommendation on my performance. This has been such a dream of mine. Trying not to give up but really down in the dumbs. I was doing so well and its like they don't care, all my clinical evals have said exceeds expectations and got all As on my exams but still know the fact of the matter was paper - but just wish they would take a step back and look at the whole picture. Do any of you know of any online programs for students who are not already and RN/ Distance Learning or any programs that I could look into to achieve my goal. I would like to start asap if possible, but know might have to wait a bit. Thanks for your help.

I can so relate to all of this. I too had gone through elementry, high school and college for occupational therapy without being diaganosed. Had my head in my books constantly, was passing but not with As by any means. Well, I decided I wanted to go back to school at the age of 28 to become a nurse. I got accepted into a bachelor's program. The first two years I did ok, wanted to do a better but just couldn't seem to get my grade up no matter how much i studied or anything I did. Well, when I hit Nursing 3 that is when things went really wrong. I asked my psychiatrist why no know picked up on the signs of ADHD with me and why it had gone on this long without being diagnosed. His answer was well a lot of females unfortunatley don't get diagnosed because they teachers see they are putting in the time with their work and are passing ( like with Cs ) so they don't do anything about it. Also, sometimes it takes a class of the nursing magnitutude to really see your difficulties. For me I passed all through elementary through an associate degree college program but when the demand of information i needed to know got more and more and the work load got harder that is when red flags went up. Well, to make long story short had to withdraw from nursing 3 and ended up getting diagnosed with ADHD and depression. I did try to go back to the bachelor nursing program but was told they had no room for me to come back so I am now enrolled in a 2 year nursing program which I really don't care for but am sticking it out cause I want to be a nurse and get this education done with before im 90 yrs old. I have been on Adderall and Prozac and have had very good results with this. Since enter the associate nursing program I have gotten all As. I have a year left.
