Hello All :)
I need advice experience ANYTHING at the moment,
because lucky me, after quite a few years one of my dreeeeam jobs has come up!!! Woohoo!
So I am definitely applying, hopefully I'll kick butt and be selected!
BUT my hubby said I should talk to Dr Neurologist and ask him what his opinion is on me working a 'rotating roster' so that would be 4 x 12hrs daytime working, 4xdays off, 4x 12hrs night working, 4 days off etc, and if this would cause more seizures. ..

So if anyone has any opinions or experience, please share :)

Your husband is right in saying you should talk to your neurologist but in saying that I worked my whole life, From my point of view I think you might be ok I have done shift work myself but it is hard on you and very hard on your body and so hard on your brain.

If they offer you the job, there is the potential that under the "reasonable accommodations" clause of the Americans With Disabilities Act, you might be able to get the employer to make your shifts all daytime. It is worth exploring. Best of luck.
