My school requires a personal health history and immunization records before one can enter the Nursing curriculum.
I'm a bit concerned if my history will in any way hinder me from being able to enter Nursing.
Basically, my records say depression at age 13 for which I was on an anti-depressant for 3 months, anorexia at age 14 which lasted 2 months, and most recently I went to the doctor complaining of chest pain/tightness due to stress/anxiety after my grandfather died during my finals (it was hard on me, he was very close).... my doc prescribed Buspar but I never filled the prescription becasue I felt better after a couple of days.
My nursing school will probably see this on my health history form. But right now I'm fine and excited to go into nursing, and I have no doubt my physical will go well.
Is there any reason why my past history should hinder me from getting in?
I had a mental health history, and basically since I was better my justification was that it was a "teenage" thing, and I got through. They are basically looking at physical things anyway I think. We all have problems, and I really think it will be ok.
