Hi y'all. I just have a quick question. So I went to see doctor few days ago, and I asked him directly, if Depression is mental illness, he told me NO - it is a medical problem and can be controlled. I wonder is there any state in US require nursing student to disclose their "Major depressive disorder" - aka Depression? My opinion: I know many people who have had depression even at the time of applying for nursing school, so depression is a pretty common medical problem now?

Hi y'all. Im in Texas. and I am a nursing student right now. I am diagnosed with depression (unspecific) and acute stress. So I wonder that I should check "no" to all of following these : " *Within the past five (5) years have you been diagnosed with, treated, or hospitalized for schizophrenia and/or a psychotic disorder, bipolar disorder, paranoid personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, or borderline personality disorder? (You may answer "No" if you have completed and/or are in compliance with TPAPN for mental illness OR you've previously disclosed to the Texas Board of Nursing and have remained compliant with your treatment regimen and have had no further hospitalization since disclosure) Due to the fact that they did not mention "depression". So I just worry that if depression history will prevent me from being approved by BON Texas? Please give me advices! Thank you

Hi guys, I am taking AP 1 this semester, on Lab i did very good job, got straight 100s on lab now. But lecture turns out terrible, i failed for first exam. But i did study, just the exam is not like what in the note and very tricky. However, i learnt that study the way like summarize ALL OF THE BOOK sometimes it does not help at all. So I am starting using flash cards, WATCH VIDEOS on Youtube and studying Pneumonic. What do you think about this? Share with me some methods please.

thank for your info, I am going for Nursing school soon, i mean next semester I am taking AP 2 and Micro as far as i could. Also, meanwhile im thinking of taking CNA ... that's what im planning... no one guarantee that there is 100% chance to be admitted to Nursing school. Plus, TX is very competitive....

Hi guys, I am new here. As I am wishing that going to apply for Nursing school in Texas. Do you think it is a good thing to start my career with CNA certificate, I understand there are many different ideas about being CNA is worthy or worthless. But just give me an idea that may support me choosing my first path. Plus, is there high chance to get a job with CNA? ( i know paying is worst...)
