BipolarMT

Louisiana

I'm also worried about that, because I attended college from 1995-1997 and did horribly. I have bipolar disorder and that was before being diagnosed. Hopefully I can get academic renewal for financial aid (student loan has been paid off for 10 years) and my grades

Thanks for your reply :) I'm very relieved to know that bipolar disorder in itself wouldn't limit me.

Hi, I am a medical transcriptionist currently and have 14 years experience in nearly all modalities except pathology. Due to changes in the field including voice recognition, lower pay, and offshoring coupled with the desire to have a more "hands-on" job in the healthcare field, I have decided to go into nursing. The local community college offers a 2-year (ASN) RN program. However, I have bipolar illness but have done well since being diagnosed in 1998, and have been employed as an MT since my first AS degree in 2000. I have no criminal history. My question is, will I be allowed to practice as an RN with bipolar disorder?
