LVN with Reflective Amblyopia

[gtorr949]

I am one month away from graduation nursing school. Part of nursing school involves medical administration such as injecting patients in all types of healthcare settings. From Ativan on a combative patient to insulin on all body types, I've done it (under the supervision of instructors and/or staff of course) all without difficulty.

im currently working as a CNA and always fail the pre-employment/annual physical exam because I have poor vision on my left eye with glasses on. 20/200 on left eye and can 20/20 on right eye. My peripheral vision is 90' on both eyes. I've been diagnosed with reflective amblyopia. Despite this my DON let's me work in her SNF because my "job description does not require vision acuity" (as a CNA.) sure enough, with both eyes open I see well. I've never had a car accident nor confuse 8's with 6's. It's not like I go about life with my good eye closed. Lol.

I wonder if I will be descriminated against being employed as an LVN because of a perceived risk being that I will place clients in danger due to my vision impairment on my left eye. Any advice from anyone? I'd really appreciate it.
