Can I still be an effective nurse with kidney disease?


Can I still be an effective nurse with kidney disease?My dream is to become a nurse.. I am 17, and I am going to college early to become a nurse instead of going through high school courses at high school.. I have been diagnosed with IgA nephropathy, a kidney disease in which every time i get any infection (like an upper respiratory infection), it attacks my kidneys since this disease is an auto-immune disease. I get very sick, my urine is all blood when im sick, and will never experience a normal cold again. Renal failure is probably within 20 yrs for me..

Anyways, with this illness, can I still pursue my dream of becoming the nurse I've always wanted to be? I always wanted to get my MSN (master's degree in nursing) but the prognosis of my disease isnt too good. Nurses work with ill patients, and when I get any sort of sickness it attacks my kidneys and it's completely debilitating. I'm very scared about that.

To quote my favorite character in a movie, ' life should be big not long...' I am sorry for your condition, but it shouldn't be a reason why you can't achieve what you want. All the best!
As regards your chances of catching infection, you will need to use universal protection (wear mask, gloves etc) all the time, it may look odd but not so bad. I think you will be able to manage. All my cordial best wishes to you!

drink lots of water at least 3 liters per day to expedite the disposal of urine.
You could cure him by taking K-Ayurin plus (reduction of pain during inflammation and smooth disposal of urine from the kidneys), Propolis platinum (to reduce inflammation due to bacterial infection), K-Liquid Clhlorofil (neutralize free radicals) and Rooibos tea
I'm sure you can definitely be a nurse and a degree of your dreams
