Thanks Scott. It was the MDD one that had me. It's so obvious though. The other two that I hadn't seen were OCPD and PMDD. BTW how is OCPD different than OCD? See they don't teach nurses any of this and I'd like to again work. I've talked with the NC Board of Nursing. Since I have an active license I can go back to work without a refresher course except all the major hospitals in Charlotte [hope to move there] require a refresher course. That means 2months of med/surg and 2mths minimum of course work on computer. Then if they hired me I would have to work full time for at least a few months. I don't think I could handle the stress of all this after being out of work for 8yrs. But I feel since psych is my bag that if I could wow them with what I know I stand a change of being hired. The stress of the full day of back and forth between hospitals and Board let me know that I still have it in me to fight to win but it left me emotionally drained. So now I question my ability to work. So, thanks to Carolina who has provided me with a lot of hospital numbers and Community Health tele numbers I can continue to look for a job that doesn't require the schooling. I feel this site provides more knowledge than any nursing course could. I just hope I can get my meds straight. Fondly, Phillipa
