I'm a new RN entering the job market right now. This is a second career and I'm an older new RN. I have a health issue and am not sure if it will cause any problems for me when job seeking. Think this might be a good site to hear others' experiences with this issue.
I have mitral regurgitation. My PCP monitors but has not recommended treatment since I don't have any symptoms associated with the condition. I'm not on any medications. The condition did not interfere with my completing nursing school.
Some Nursing Jobs require a post-offer physical. My question is whether this condition could result in an offer being rescinded. I will be honest in answering any health-related questions I am asked since lying or withholding information can only cause problems for me and my patients.
Don't know if helpful--I'm seeking psych nursing jobs since I have previous mental health experience in my first career.
Thanks for any information you can share based on experience!
