Thank you very much for your support. I do feel that I did the right thing, but I'm scared of the label. Going through school and hearing the discriminations against mental illness from nurses, doctors, instructors, and also my peers, has really opened my eyes. I feel that my brush with psych has really given me a better view of patient care, it has had a humbling effect on the way I give care all patients. I just pray I get the chance that I have earned.

yeah, i've heard that. i'm starting to think i screwed myself by being honest.

PLEASE HELP! I'm seeking advice from any LVN or RN that has been aproved after being diagnosed with bipolar. I was diagnosed as a teen, and sought treatment for 5 years. During that time I felt that I wasn't really gaining anything from the meds, except the weight. I have not taken any meds for 3+ years and have been fine since. Since enrolling in school, I have been seeing a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist feels I was misdiagnosed. She feels that I may have been depressed, but that I am a well functioning adult. I went through school with awesome grades, and have the support of my instructors. I'm still scared. Please tell me that someone has been approved.
