Hey everyone,
Well, i'll give you some background information first. I'm in my final year of high school and have already been appected to university here in my home town for the pre-social work program. Honestly i don't like the idea of being a social worker and i don't think i will enjoy it and i've always had a serect dream of becoming a nurse. here's where it gets sticky. I don't have to the chemistry to direct entry into the nursing program (I had planned to do it in my first year of university and get the evinquient) and I have a disability, now to be honest it's really not that bad, i can move quickly and am very capable of getting around and lifting and i can walk, stand for long periods of time and i learn quick. When i see the nursing students at the local hospital doing there rounds and disuessing cases it makes me sad inside cause i feel like i should be doing that and it's where I belong, i've always wanted to help people and that seems like a great way to do it. I really want to get the nerve and tell me people i want to do nursing but i'm scared and to make things worse my family members tell me i'm unable to do such things as become a nurse (my real dream) because of my disabilty. So here's my questions:
Can people with disabilities become nurses?
Is this something i should do?
Any extra advice would be greatly apperiated.
