[CIJake2008]

Hello, my name is Jacob and I am doing basics course and am fixing to get my Associate's in General Studies from South Plains College in December. I plan to relocate to Houston end of December to go to nursing school. I want to get my RN license. I will be taking a CNA class to get my CNA this fall. I was wondering what should I do for nursing school? I am profoundly deaf but wear a cochlear implant in my left ear. I have excellent speech and listening skills and do not require an interpreter but TDD or TTY (Phones for the hearing-impaired) may be required for me. I don't know what to do about steophscopes for cochlear implants or how to answer any concerns about how I can be a nurse with selective hearing? I am relocating due to discrimination from two advisors at my current school. I want to make the right choices of school in houston. I do not want to move 800 miles away from my family and friends to make a mistake. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated, thank you.

check with the schools that you will be attending and lay your cards on the table..there are new and innovative ways to get past a disablity
if you finished the general studies yo must hear with cochlear to attend lectures
nursing school can also tell you which subjects that you have already had that can be applied to program
