I'm seriously considering the nursing profession and I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder. As nursing is typically considered a high stress profession, I'd be very curious to hear anyone's experience managing the role with an anxiety disorder, especially GAD.

Ideally, I would most likely work as a per diem nurse a couple days each week, so I'm not too worried about not being able to get away or recuperate -- but I am worried that the sheer cortisol from those couple days is going to put me in recovery mode for the rest of the week or make me more prone to GAD issues.
