Disability Accommodation. Should I ?

868 Posts

Okay, I have a physical disability, which I will not reveal here. But, I just look at EC's list of accommodations that they will make, and the one below would apply to me:

-Double time or half time on Exams

-Limit to 5 areas of care for the CPNE

-Additional break time between exam components during the CPNE

-30 minutes of additional testing time for each PCS during the CPNE

-Assistance with lifting and positioning patients during the CPNE

Now mind you that I can do without these things, but it would aggravate my disability.

My moral question for ya'll is should I sign up for the accommodations, because I do have a disability, and doing without them would make it a little more difficult than the average person; or should I just tough it out?

Now before anyone replies, because I know how things get sometimes on AN, let me reiterate that I do have a physical ability, that doesn't always limit what I can do but, it does ALWAYS make everything that I do more difficult, but with that said, if I just put my pain aside I can do it.

Thanks in advance.
