Hi Marley, I'm an RN too. I had a very difficult time holding onto jobs when I was unstable and I finally burned out four years ago. I'm on disability so I can't very well advise you on working while bipolar, except this: NEVER tell your boss or co-workers that you have BP. Nothing good comes from it. I was burned twice---lost jobs because my loose lips sank my ship. The Americans with Disabilities Act did not protect me at all...employers will just find a way around it and get rid of a person for some other trumped-up reason.

I wish you luck in your endeavors. Be careful, but enjoy your work. Being a nurse is an awesome responsibility.
