Hi everyone, I learned today that my nuclear power plant is shutting down, which means I'll need to find a new job soon. I've always wanted to be a nurse, so I'm making lemonade out of this lemon. I hope. :-)
I'm applying to nursing school, in particular an accelerated BSN program. In the questionnaire, it asks if there are any reasons that I would have difficulty (physically or academically) completing the program. I'm newly diagnosed, have only had one clinical exacerbation, am on Copaxone and my most recent MRI showed improvement. So my thought is that, no, there is no reason that I should have difficulty completing the 15-month program. I also do not have any cognitive or physical difficulties yet.
Do I need to disclose my MS as part of my application? The school requires us to have health insurance and offers it. I won't have COBRA the whole time I'm in school, so I'll need to use their insurance. Would that insurance disclose to the school that I'm on MS meds?
Thanks a bunch for any help you can offer!
