Nursing school physical and depression?


I start nursing school in March. I have to have a physical done before I start classes. I am guessing that my doctor will want to put major depresive disorder on the paprework. Will this in anyway effect my schooling? Legaly I mean...can they keep me from going to school?

They can let you into school, but some states won't let you get your lisense if you have a history of depression. Talk to your school or your state board of nursing to see if depression is something that will keep you from being a nurse.
I know in Ohio if you have a mental illness and still want t ob a nurse, they will look at cases individually and decide whether to give you a lisense or not.

no they can not keep you from school legally
the only way the depression will affect your schooling is with you personally like your motavation and such

yes if you have a major depressive disorder it will effect you standing.
