Should not interfere: There is nothing about ADHD that should interfere with becoming a nurse. It is important that you take your medication so you can concentrate on your responsibilities.

NO: I have worked with healthcare practitioners who have ADHD, which, of course, has to be managed appropriately with medication and therapy.
