Hi, I'm taking the prereqs to get into nursing school right now. I was diagnosed with epilepsy about a year ago, and I was wondering if anyone knew how this could affect working as a nurse or if anyone had any experience with this.

Re: Epilepsy

I've seen forums about that in other websites, people wondering if they should bring up epilepsy during the hiring process, or much later.

I have adult onset seizures. I've had two. Both at work. I'm on Tegretol now. No repercussions at all from my employer.
