I have been a nurse 2 years and have renewed once. On each of those re-applications, I was able to say that I was not diagnosed with bipolar, schizophrenia, etc. However, I do have Major Depression and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. My new NP, believes that I have Bipolar II, but has agreed to leave it depression and anxiety because labels do not matter to her and she is treating me, not the diagnosis. However, I fear that I might need to go inpatient at some point, because that is the nature of my best. My question, what if I'm hospitalized and diagnosed bipolar? Do I have to claim that on my next applications. And most importantly...what if I don't claim that? What could happen? Thanks.
