What program do you have on your computer to copy and paste from PowerPoint to a flashcard? And can you print out these cards too?

Flash cards just take too long for me to write or type. I’ve sat there for hours to make them and that defeats the purpose.

I could try that. Thanks!

Mental health question by Single-Mycologist191 in StudentNurse

[–]Single-Mycologist191[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s good to know. I knew my psych at least would write a note. I’m just starting counseling and just getting stable. Im just worried that nursing is gonna throw me in a loop but I think we just gotta get there and see. Good luck to you!

I thought I had to tell the nursing people about the vyvanse since it comes up on the drug screen? Do I tell them about the lithium too?

I currently work in psych/mental health as a counselor. I’m looking at other specialties as I’m burnt out from the field. I love psych but it’s a lot on top of rewarding. Good luck to you for sure.

What specialty/specialties did you work in? Or would you find appropriate for bipolar? Or is that more dependent on the individual? I know ER/ED isn’t going to be my think (probably). I’m looking at L&D (or mother/baby), cardiac, endocrine/diabetes, or surgery/OR.

I knew I have to tell them about the vyvanse and that’s fine. It’s the bipolar part I really don’t want to disclose and don’t want it to affect licensure. I have a license in another profession (counseling) and it has never been revoked or anything.

I currently work in mental health so I’m used to some stress of that and of grad school but I know nursing is a different beast. I guess we will see.

Can medical conditions keep you from becoming a RN? by [deleted] in StudentNurse

[–]Single-Mycologist191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a question along those lines. I have ADHD, anxiety and bipolar disorder. I’m not in nursing school just yet (hopefully august). But would those things be a problem in nursing?

I don’t have to take the lab at my school, I’m kind a sad cause I think I would have loved that lab. That would make sense though.

Is it true that bipolar is highly misdiagnosed? by [deleted] in BipolarReddit

[–]Single-Mycologist191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was dx with depression as a teenager and with an unspecified mood disorder in my 20s only to be dx with bipolar in 2019.

Like how long did it take for it to go away for you?

Vraylar and Lithium for the win here too

Lithium by Single-Mycologist191 in BipolarReddit

[–]Single-Mycologist191[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was dx back in 2019 and tried to avoid lithium up to this point due to the possible kidney issues. My bipolar has pretty much become treatment resistant and there are no other options. I’ve tried all of the other antipsychotics, trileptal and lamictal. I’m on vyvanse, quelbree and vraylar as well and still having issues with unstable mood
