  17. Tell my manager or keep the bipolar hidden

    I go back and forth on wether to share or not. I feel that if they have knowledge of my Dx. while I am well, should there be an exacerbation I would be somewhat protected. Also I am just nervous in general because nursing is so high stress and I will...
  18. Tell my manager or keep the bipolar hidden
