Service dogs in interviews

[emmafleur18]

I am a type 1 diabetic, and I have a diabetes alert service dog who comes with me everywhere and alerts to changing blood sugar. I will be applying to a bunch of entry-level masters programs when the application cycles open. Hopefully, I'll get some interviews. I need some advice as to whether or not I should bring my service dog to the interviews. Obviously, she's a part of me and I would love to bring her, but I don't want programs to look at me and assume that I can't do a good job at nursing because I have a service dog. I haven't yet worked out what will happen in nursing school, but I assume she won't be with me 24/7 in school because of logistics. To bring her to interviews, or to leave her home and discuss it if I get accepted to the program?

You need to let me know where all of this is because with a positive response like that? Wow, I want to work there!

I'm THRILLED that you are doing so well. The best of luck to you!
