My Dr Says No to Nursing For Me

[mammaoftwo]

Well, my PCP has told me she would not recommend me for nursing due to my health problems. I was hoping that I would be able to pursue nursing. I have always wanted to be a nurse or social worker. Looks like now I will be pursuing the social work. Thank goodness the classes I am taking this semester can be incorporated into the Human Services Program at the community college I am going to. I am very, very dissapointed. My doctor stated there is no way I could be on my feet for 12 hour or even 8 hour shifts. It has been a pleasure to post on here and read everyones stories. May the best happen for each one of you and you reach your goals. Blessings to all.

Have faith in yourself, have faith in your body.

I would, like other people suggested, seek for a second opinion before making my final decision. After all, it's your dream. Just follow your passion, because you can, and you will make it!! Best of luck!!

Good luck with whatever you choose!

I would definitely get a second opinion. You were able to obtain your CNA and CPR certification without it being a medical issue so you can clearly perform some medical duties that would be necessary to make it through nursing school. I would see another doctor for approval ASAP.

I also need to lose a lot of weight. We can do it!!
