[Nfbkabs] nursing

[Melanie Peskoe]

Katie,
I remember there being this girl (for some reason I want to say she was from
Canada) who wanted to go to nursing school.  She had a lot of trouble
getting in because of her blindness and I think she actually took them to
court.  You might post a message on the list and see if anyone remembers it.
Whatever you decide, make sure it's something you really wan to do.  I made
the mistake of not being sure and because of that I bounced around from
major to major and could have graduated much earlier than I actually did.
I'm only now completely nailing down what I want to do, but once you know it
is a good feeling.  What happened to the paralegal program?  I think you'd
be awesome in that field.  Take care, Melanie

I went back back through two years of NABS messages and only found posts
about a doctor that was blind.  It's weird there's not a whole lot on this
subject.

I am not aware of anyone personally who has done this, but I suggest joining
the nabs list on nfbnet if you aren't already on there. Also, since you are
the affiliate president there is a list for student division presidents, I
believe.

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if you all could help me out with something.  I'm debating
on what to major in right now and one of the things I'm strongly
considering
is nursing.  I was wondering if any of you know anyone either through
conventions or just personal experience that's a blind nurse, if so did
they
have strong feelings for it either way?  Basically what I'm worried about
is
being able to get a job after I graduate.  So any information anyone knows
about this would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Katie
