It is illegal to discriminate against employees or potential employees on the basis of a mental illness, so legally yes. I have heard that being a nurse is a very demanding occupation, which may be straining with a mental illness, and I suggest you talk to someone about this, other nurses perhaps. This is a Yahoo nurse group, which will be ideal for you query: http://health.dir.groups.yahoo.com/group/NursingAssistantCentral/?v=1&t=directory&ch=web&pub=groups&sec=dir&slk=6 But don't be afraid to talk about it, and don't let it stand in the way of what you want to do. I wish you the best of luck.
