They’re strong. They’re persistent. They’re resilient. They’re exceptional nurses.
Read the true, inspiring stories
of nurses with disabilities who overcame significant odds—managing physical and
mental challenges on the job—and continued to be a nurse through it all.
You’ll read of a nurse who has a
learning disability and developed his own system of accommodation.
You’ll find out about a nurse who
experienced an amputation after many conservation surgeries and found a way to keep
working.
You’ll learn about a nurse who
worked through a terrifying hurricane and developed mental illness, and learned
important lessons about herself to help her conquer it, and continue being a
nurse.
You’ll hear the stories of what
it’s like to lose hearing while on the job as well as develop vision deficits
while nursing.
In all these stories, the nurses’
resilience is what helped them pull through adverse situations, made them
stronger and more effective nurses in the end.
Also included is practical information
on how to navigate the vocational rehabilitation system including a guide to
requesting services, a sample accommodation request letter to share with an
employer, as well as information on how to best disclose a psychiatric
disability.
Whether you’re a nurse or a
student with a disability or you care about a nurse with a disability, this
book will leave you inspired and prepared to be an exceptional nurse yourself.
The new book is available in print and on Kindle.
