Hello, I'm sure you all have heard many questions from someone looking to enter the nursing field. I hope this is a new and easy one for you. I'm looking to jump over to nursing after 15+ years in law enforcement (non sworn = not a cop). My question has to do with the health requirements to become a nurse. Before I start looking into schools and jobs, I wanted to know if there are any laws or general prohibitions to becoming a nurse if you've sustained a heart attack. I had a small MI two years ago, had some additional stents placed a year ago, but seem to be doing well now. I'm working and living at full speed though still on many of the meds needed for year 1. Any idea if this will be an issue for me to get my RN cert. or cause trouble with the hiring process? Thanks!
