Low Vision and Nursing?

Hello Everyone!!!

I have a question and I really would like some answers so I can decide where to go from here. So, I have a vision impaitement. Not completely blind but I'm considered low vision. With glasses or contacts my vision is 20/100. I know that's not great but not out of range of legal blindness. My eye physician seems to think its possible as long as I wear glasses but I need to keep in mind of fields of nursing not to pursue such as surgery for example which I do not want to do anyway. The doc also said to talk with nursing advisor or director to confirm the possibility. What do you guys think? I can distinguish colors very well. And i got my CNA license with no problems or accommodations during my exams (skills and written portion) I can do vitals with no problems and my teacher thought I could go further in my career if I wanted. I just want to hear other opinions because I do not want to waste my time or money. Any opinions would be valuable? And if nursing is not a possibility, what about other fields like radiography or tomography?

Thank you guys for your advice or information it is much appreciated!!!!! :)

    Well, I think you already know what to do. Some of the professionals already told you you can do it, and everything is possible. I do not really know what else you want to hear.
