My seizures are definitely not well controlled. My therapist thinks that the seizures must be stress related or at least stress makes them more frequent. She thought that a hospital setting would be best for me until I figure out how do deal with them. My first seizure that we know of was November of 2013. Being born three months premature may have an impact on that. I have not you started volunteering. My first shift in the ED was supposed to be tonight, but there was a problem with paperwork. I should only be sticking and cleaning rooms. The other part if it should only be desk work until I know what my abilities are. It would defiantly be difficult or even impossible it see or manage something from a distance greater than what I can see.Indefinitely wouldn't help me at all to drop on my way to a patient or to get help. I may end up talking with my group coordinator about possibly having one of their assistants come to help at least for a little while. Thanks for the input. I really appreciate it. It's nice to hear other's opinions.

I am just starting my nursing career as a volunteer. I have always enjoyed working with others; especially in a hospital setting. i have been visually impaired since birth, so I can only see three feet in front of me. This usually doesn't bother me or interfere with patient care. I began having seizures in November of 2913. I have Absence, Atonic and Grand Mals. My volunteer coordinator is highly concerned that I cannot care for my patients. She feels like I'm really too much of a risk if I randomly 'drop' at any point. I am confident that I can help just as much as anyone else; but how do I show her this without being rude?
