  1. ADD in Nursing

    Ftoll24 posted a topic in General Students

    Hey All - I just completed my interview for nursing school and I am accepted pending a criminal background check and a urine test. My family doctor prescribes me adderall for ADD. Here's my...

  2. Adderall and nursing school

    Ftoll24 replied to struggles's topic in General Students

    I'm thinking more and more that this is NOT the way to go. It seems to me that this is a privacy issue and unless they (1) ask you to explain a positive result for amphetamines or (2) ask you what...

  3. Does anyone take adderall????

    Ftoll24 replied to KrisRNwannabe's topic in General Students

    When I was 25 (Im 33 now) I went through extensive testing and was diagnosed with ADHD. When I began taking adderall the side effects tended to outweigh the benefits. Sure, I could focus for long...

  4. Nurse with ADD

    Ftoll24 replied to CarlyAnne11's topic in General Nursing

    Adderall can cause you to over-analyze. Over-analyzing is good when studying. But when you are testing, you know what you know - over-analyzing does you no good. I've kept a 3.9 gpa by lowering my...

  5. Denied employement d/t Adderall????????

    Ftoll24 replied to smstar1996's topic in General Nursing

    Are you saying the testing center is not allowed to disclose the medicine you take to a potential school/employer if you have a valid

  6. ADD in Nursing

    Ftoll24 replied to Ftoll24's topic in General Students

    So you're saying a nursing school is legally obligated to allow a person on amphetamines to treat patients? This is where I'm not sure and I don't know what to do. I really don't want to contact the...

  7. ADD in Nursing

    Ftoll24 replied to Ftoll24's topic in General Students

    "getting a positive reading for amphetamines is not the same thing as failing the exam" I didn't mean to imply that. The poster originally stated that they should only be testing for illegal drugs,...

  8. suboxone and nursing (why are others so negative about this medication)

    Ftoll24 replied to gmkj's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This is the exact advice my doc gave me but after 4 years of being on 1 mg of Sub I think I have FINALLY committed to quitting and listening to other people who HAVE BEEN THERE. And you are right,...

  9. ADD in Nursing

    Ftoll24 replied to Ftoll24's topic in General Students

    Hi Kristey - Adderall is an amphetamine. So when they do a 10-panel urine test, adderall is a failed exam. In this regard, there is no distinction between "illegal drugs" and what I am taking....

  10. suboxone and nursing (why are others so negative about this medication)

    Ftoll24 replied to gmkj's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I just want to add I have NEVER had the urge to take my old pain meds while on Suboxone. There was never a fear of relapse. I think this is the thing that a lot of people miss about Suboxone...

    Ftoll24 replied to gmkj's topic in Nurses Recovery

    SWS RN - I am a new user here and it will not allow me to PM you because I don't have 15 posts yet. Can you PM me? I'm dying to ask you some questions about what you wrote here. I have been stuck...
