Hello everyone, this is my first time psoting in the nursing forum. I'm in the process of applying to med school. I'm posting on behalf of a younger friend who wants to do nursing and is narcoleptic. This person will seek advice from his local nursing school soon, but I just thought I'd post here to get some idea from the feedback.
Is it possible to do nursing with this condition? Would he possibly be in the position of pursuing the degree only to find that hospitals won't hire him due to liability issues? Would he be limited to practicing in particular settings, or only with supervision?
(I would think that most nurses are so busy that supervising another nurse wouldn't be feasible, but prehaps the only requirement would be another staffperson be present in the room with him at all times.) Are there nurses out there who have actually worked with another nurse who has this condition?
Knowledgeable feedback would be greatly appreciated.
