Thank you all for your repies. You have all been very helpfull. I am gonna go ahead and try and see what happens. I will jsut make sure that as i get started i am up front right away about my vision so that i know what needs to be done. I am also gonna look into aids that can help me ecause it is posible there is stuff out there i do not know about. I am stil a little nervouse but i am defintly feeling more confident and more like i can do it, so thanks everyone.

This is my first time posting, so i first off just wanted to say hi to everyone. I am 21 and getting ready to go back to college for nursing, ut i have a have a concern that i was hoping you guys would ve able to provide me with some insight on. I have uncorrectable low vision. Now i am not blind or anything i can see the same things others can, but i often have to look closer than others do to read things or to see smaller things. Wen i am reading small print i also use a magnifying lens sometimes. Will this get in the way of me being able to be a nurse? When i was a kid i had a lot of surgeries, and had to learn to compansate for what i had los when i was born. What i went through is one of th reason that i have decided i would like to be a pediatric nurse. I have talked to some people about it and they al seem to think my vision what be a big deal r that it is something i can work around becausei am stil able tosee everything that everyone else can even if i do have to look a lot closer at times, but i wanted to get some more insight from actual nurss, so i came here. Any advice or insight would be very appricaited. thanks.
