Hi my name is Kelsey, I have major depressive disorder, general and social anxiety, panic attacks, chronic pain (which I take narcotic medication to control), most of my pain is in my knee but I also have low back pain, 3 bulging discs and degenerative disc disease. I'm 26 and over the past year have finally been able to start functioning normally mostly due to depression. I've pretty much always wanted to be a nurse but I would like to know if I would even be accepted into nursing school and if after all the schooling can the licensing board reject me for one (or more) of my issues (specifically in regards to my pain management and my use of narcotic medication). If you need more information or more specific information I'll be happy to give it. Looking for true honest answers please.
