Hi, I had a massive stroke in my freshman in college. I had a stroke that left me with right sided weakness and speech impairment. I went into nursing after my stroke. The whole process wasn't easy (getting admitted to nursing school, finding jobs as a RN). Because I still had a limp when I walk and have somewhat slurred speech. I got rejected by many hospital, because the first thing you do is a phone interview. Not knowing me as a person, recruiters rejected me over the phone. I've been a RN for 5 years now, with 3 different rn positions and I've never was in a position where I was unemployed. I must say if you have the dedication, the doors will open for you. It won't be as easy as other nurses, and you will feel like giving up at times, but if you really want it, it'll work out some way or another!
