Thank you for the reply, I am begining to understand there may not be a way around it for now.

If you look at the "physical requirements necessary " to be a nursing student you will get a better picture of what one needs to be capable of. With the current set up of US nursing curriculums, although a student may not want to work in a specific area. they will need to be capable of meeting the physical requirements necessary for that area. In US nursing, licenses are granted for a nurse to work with out limitations. Accommodations can be made..for example an amplified stethoscope for someone hearing impaired.
