Will cardiomyopathy keep you from getting a hospital job?

Nurses General Nursing

I just did my health screening for my first nursing job. I was honest and stated I had cardiomyopathy on the forms. Do they consider this a liability and rescind their offer of employment?

Generally unless you have a medical condition that severely limits your physical ability to perform the duties of a job, an offer shouldn't be rescinded. 

Not likely unless you can't do the job: walk, stand, lift, etc.
