Hello my name is Kate and I'm planning to enter nursing in the fall. I've always wanted to be a nurse and am excited that my dream is coming true. but i have a worry... I've heard the medication I'm taking might prevent me from becoming part of the program. I'm on respiradone - a low dose - but none the less it is still an antipsychotic. I'm not psychotic - I take it for racing thoughts. could I be banned from a nursing program because of the medication I'm on? More importantly, will I even be able to be liscensed as a nurse if I'm taking this drug? I'd appreciate any help or info. Thank you everyone
Kate
