Thanks Apples & HouTex for comments. Appreciate it!

You're absolutely right. :) Thanks for the reminder!

Loriangel, KelRN, and Kunzieo, thank you all so much for your comments. You too again, Esme. Thank you all for your support to a new RN. Wishing you all (and all nurses!) a happy Thanksgiving!

One other thing, since I'm new here, I think is ok to ask for general information/experiences from other nurses about my situation? If not, please let me know. Thanks again :)

Esme, thank you for your response. :) Is helpful. Also, thank you for clarifying about medical advice as I get that from my PCP and am not seeking here. I am only seeking general information/experiences other nurses have. Again, thank you for your helpful comment.

Hi All, 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 My question is whether this condition could result in an offer being rescinded.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!
