Hi Zookeeper3: I appreciate the honesty and will take your advice under careful consideration. Thank you. Mark

Thank you for everyones encouragement. My tremor is only minor now and that is without meds. I do have insurance now thankfully, but just haven't been back to the dr. to get my meds. I'm thankful that my tremor is only minor. It's most noticeable when I do fine or detailed work or when I'm tired or stressed. Also when I pick up a glass of water. I do plan to get back on some meds. I just wasn't sure if nursing school would kick me out for having ET and if someone with ET should become a nurse. I appreciate the support. Thanks. Mark

An AMAP is an "Approved Medicine Assistant Personnel". Another words I dispense medications to residents in an assisted living facility I work at.

Hi everyone: I am a 43 year old male with ET. I used to be on meds but stopped due to no insurance. I am starting my pre-reqs for nursing and although my tremor is mild still I have been wondering if I should peruse a career in nursing. I am worried about being able to draw blood or put in IV's. I can't help but wonder if employers will hire me due to my ET. What do you think? Should I pursue a nursing career? I'm presently a CNA and an AMAP and my ET doesn't interfere with my job. Thanks. Mark
