I am in vocational. Right now I am doing internships until June and then all is done. I just have to make it through them .

I am not asking for medical advice. Only tips to help me with keeping myself on track during my shifts.

I have already explained because at my school they talked with the teachers so I can get the full help I need. That hasn't made anything worse on my side. It has actually helped a lot since the teachers know and understand that I am not just an incompitant student trying to get away with doing nothing.

Alright, so I am now on my fourth internship and I had recently been diagnosed with ADHD at 22 years old (finally realized I am not stupid I just have that holding me back). I have been having a lot of problems with managing and prioritizing tasks, creating or following a plan, adjusting to unexpected tasks (working with post-op patients I guess tasks can pop up unexpectedly), writing out a detailed nursing note... so basically managing everything in general. I am currently unmedicated. Had tried Wellbutrin but that had only caused me more problems. It is difficult to get in to see my doctor, although now I have an apointment, I still have a couple weeks to get through before then. I am beginning to lose a lot of faith in myself and have the feeling that others may be as well. If anyone can give me some tips if they have been through something similar I am ready for anything. I am becoming desperate in the fear that I may fail my internship all because of my ADHD. Although I still have the motivation to move on and keep my chin up as much as possible, I fear I am running out of all that is keeping me going. Thankfully I have gotten nothing but wonderful patients that remind me why I am doing this.
