I understand you being reluctant to say anything since you are new there. Still sucks though that 'professionals' have such bad attitudes.

I am a RN and have been on disability since 2000. I'm wanting to go back to work per diem but will have to disclose my PTSD because my pdoc says I shouldn't be the primary nurse for domestic violence victims or gunshot victims. I am bipolar but I only planned to tell the board of nursing that part, not wanting to tell employer. Kinda unsure how to balance my privacy w/ employer's right to know, ya know what I mean?
