I am a nursing student about to start the 2nd semester of the ADN program at my school. I start tomorrow. I have had vertigo at least 2-3 times before. It's awful. Ever since then I have experienced constant dizziness. This last episode hit last Wednesday night. It has been 6 days. The doctor told me to take meclizine 3 x day and claritan d. I don't know what to do at this point. I cannot miss school, but I can't even drive let alone go to lecture or give patients meds. Help!!!!!!!!
