I'm feeling AMAZING, better than before I got diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, mainly because I've always been at one end of the spectrum or the other. Anyway, I was getting worried despite this for a number of reasons.
I'm in college for Nursing because I love taking care of people and I can't help but respect what they deal with. When I was in the hospital, I think I was a loon. (I kept getting EXTREMELY scared. First time being the patient, after all.) Since I was so bad, I kept embarrassing myself but they weren't upset or anything. I want to be that type of nurse. It also helps that I can relate to things some nurses can't. (Like not eating) My problem deals with actually enrolling. It requires a physical. Despite the humira working (though, I'm not confident that will last quite as long as I need to) and feeling better, I'm worried they'll reject me because I have IBD and humira.
How likely is it that they'll reject me just solely for having an unpredictable disease? (Or at least, a disease that won't let me work near certain types of patients like C.Diff)I'm not even sure if I can get all my shots because I'm not sure if humira impairs the immune system like that. Any nurses that can confirm or deny it?
