   cync31 replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Ohio

   Welcome to allnurses! I am also new(er) on here. Are you attending Galen in Cincinnati/Sharonville? I visited there yesterday and it seems to have its drawbacks but for me, being able to start right away in October is a huge plus. I was also looking ...

6. Anyone with a seizure disorder ?

   cync31 replied to niali's topic in Disabilities

   topgungirl, I'm guessing that was the only one you've had so far? I would say talk to your doctor about whether you should disclose or not. If you have only had 1 seizure, are still allowed to drive, and haven't been diagnosed with a seizure disorder...

   I also have epilepsy and am planning on starting an ADN program this fall. I used to have a lot of problems with meds and had difficulty with work because of it. Even though I worked in physicians' offices, they were not at all understanding of my si...
