Hi, I wonder if someone could give me a bit of advice please about the medical form.
Bit of background first.
I'm 17 and started my 2nd year at college back in September. However I wasn't enjoying it, didn't know what to do with my future etc so within 5-6 weeks I was skipping classes etc. Mum found out, shed also been told by my older brother that he'd heard I was taking drugs etc (I had tried cannabis, that's it). Anyway this resulted in an almighty row where I said a stupid comment about I'd be better being dead etc. This obviously worried my mum to the extent that she wrote to our doctors. (They phoned her and chatted to her and advised to try and get me to see a doctor)
Within a few days we sat and talked calmly about my future and that's when I decided to apply for the RN. She then told me about the letter to the doctor's. I have requested my medical records to see if it's logged and it is.
So my question is do I declare this and if so at what stage? Bearing in mind I have never seen a doctor or been diagnosed with any mental illness. Also do you think this will stop me from being accepted to RN?
Thank you
