There's no way to predict what course that Lupus will take, and there's a an excellent chance that most of the time you will be able to keep a normal work schedule. Often, the symptoms flare up then, drop off for a while, with times in between when there are few symptoms.

Nursing is a perfect fit because work schedules for nurses are much more flexible than many careers. Another thing to consider is health insurance. If you have a job, you will have access to cheaper health insurance, and working at a hospital may provide some extra discounts and health benefits. One thing you can count on with Lupus is lots of visits to the doctor. Remaining as active as possible (without over-doing it) is also important for management of the disease, so nursing has the added benefit of keeping you on your feet and moving.

of course you need to continue your schooling but you also need to let your teachers know of your illness so that they are understanding of your episodes of fatigue etc. don't let the lupus get you down--you need to keep going and finish your schooling!
I can't really think of why you wouldn't consider continuing your education. More than likely, you will not be sick all the time, you'll have good and bad days. I have known a few people in my lifetime with lupus and all but one works (one even goes to school and holds a job). The one the doesn't work probably has the most severe case out of the people I know.
You can if the symptoms are not too disabling. Lupus is not infectious (check with your professors if needed) and is considered an Autoimmune disorder. If you can manage your health, continue.

If you are interested in alternative health systems, get in touch. No money, no scams. Just free advice.
I have holistic health knowledge but am not a doctor
you can continue depending on the severity of the disease process. i have seen cases of the disease that have been severe and others that aren't so severe. depending on how you feel, its completely up to you.
