These are the units of thought of: Pediatrics (I volunteered in a children's hospital for 4 years in high school & enjoyed it) Cardiac (I love learning about the heart) Emergency Room **I'll be graduating this coming May (2015)

More specifically how do you remember the huge amount of information we are required to remember? When I study I literally read powerpoints out-loud over & over and OVER again, just so I can remember the information. I always understand the reaso...

SIDE NOTE: In DSM-IV, there were 3 ADHD subtypes: 1. Combined Type 2. Predominantly Inattentive Type 3. Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Type I stated I have the ADHD-Inattentive type (or otherwords option 2 from my list above). In DSM-III, the...

So...when I say "ADHD-inattentive" that's what I am...Thats my subtype.. I can understand how inattentive part can come across as me being an inattentive person in general..I guess not many people know how ADHD diagnosis works with the subtypes

sallyrnrrt: Thank you for your input. Yes critical thinking does require focus. Just because I have ADHD-inattentive doesn't mean I don't focus while working. If anything, it makes me extremely aware of the fact that I need to focus (hense my hyperf...

Nonyvole All I'm trying to say is I acknowledge how difficult ADHD and use ADHD to my advantage sometimes. And use mental strategies to ensure I'm efficient throughout my shifts. Hyperfocousing is all about intention..and practice! Also being aware o...

enuf_already: Im not going to decide where Id like to work based off the fact that I have ADHD.. I'd like to know if there is a tendency for ADHD nurses to work in particular units..I know Emergency Room is one that's often spoken of..just curious! ...

mariebailey: No matter what I always start my day with the intention to hyperfocus on whatever tasks that need to get done. That doesn't mean I will disregard other tasks that come up randomly (which always happens). I just have a strong intention to...

Im graduating in May........I worked in a children's hospital for 4 years..... In ER for 1 year...and a doctor's office for 2 years......I know nursing is my fit, hense why I choose it.....Im not being defensive..Im annoyed at your comments because I...

Never did I say I have problems with ADHD.................. All my question was asking is which unit do nurses with ADHD usually excel in.. it's a known fact that ADHD nurses do great in ER's for instance....

Meriwhen: I think your comment was very unprofessional..and offensive... Ive had ADHD for some time now...It is a VERY common mental diagnosis.......especially among health care workers....Just because I have ADHD doesn't mean i'm any less capable of...

Thank you

Thank you, Struggling first year..

I particularly struggle with HESI speciality exams. I have three more semesters of nursing school, including the semester I just started this past Monday. Any advice, guidance, tips, suggestions etc. would be greatly appreciated! Thank you?

I am currently studying Med-Surg I (Adults I), struggling and feeling defeated/tired.... Thank you all nurses/nursing students

Also - How much of the material in Pathophysiology & Pharmacology are helpful for learning Med Surg?

This sounds like me. Ill check out Target, they are good for things like planners.

aTOMicTom & Annachu512 - Huh ? What's "trapper keeper"?

ebailey1218 - I do use a iphone. Ill take a look at this! Thank you!
