im hoping to be a psych nurse after graduation =) if that is..i can get stable enough >_<.
i think lamictal did increase my appetite some, but i did not gain weight.
> I was a Nationally Certified Psych Nurse. Haven't worked in 9 years from about two years after my thyroid went.Anxiety was too high and I'm getting old now. The lifting and what not couldnt do and they want me to go back to school. All I wanted was to work about l2 hours total a week in psych the nursing board says yes as my license is current the hospitals here say no as they set their own policies and as the nursing board said its a catch 22, In Charlotte they require school after 5 years out of nursing. So that is the reason I'm here so much. I do care for everyone as I cared for my patients and it in my mind is kind of like working. Don't know if this makes any sense or not. But I've developed a lot of back problems too and the chronic lymes disease I had and the unstable thyroid. Don't get old 61 now and no way can I work full time in med surg with the lifting. And then full time in psych before parttime. And about 5 months on the computer first. Makes no sense at my age. Also I'm learning a lot here as they don't teach you about the mechanisms of meds in nursing. So in a way I'm going to school and working a little too. Phillipa who really wants to be 20 years younger.Also worked all units in a hospital including ICU. No labor and delivery though.
