Had a good, productive session with my pdoc today, and he told me he believes I absolutely CAN continue to work as a nurse, as long as I stay away from the 24/7, management-type jobs where you're never able to get away completely and can't leave work AT work. He says my bipolar does constitute a disability, but I am not disabled. There's a big difference. And I'm good with that.........I really DON'T want to be seen as "ill", and I don't want it to get in the way of finishing up my career on a good note.
