Are there any of you Nursing Students or Nurses who had/have ADD? If so how did you manage etc. I have it, am on some medication (Not Ritilin) My biggest problems are tests. I can study and it is like a few hours later, it seems like I have forgotten it. All my life, I have done terrible on tests. Yet when I discuss things etc, I seem to know. But when it comes to those darn tests, I really have a problem. I need to conquer this, because the big one comes at the end, if I can make it that far!!! I live on campus/Dorm. So it is even harder to concentrate with all the noise etc and other goings on.
I found that taking one 10mg adderall (twice daily) helps me function and concenrate better on each and every task that I take on.
I am also a student nurse suffering from add/adhd symptoms.
