Access to RN-BSN programs for nurses who use wheelchairs
A nurse who uses a power wheelchair shared this story:
I attended the first week of classes and was told, "you can't be a nurse because you don't meet the college's technical standards." There is a small component of the program that includes a clinical experience and they said I wouldn't be able to participate as, "I must be able to ambulate without any assistive device".
"Isn't this screaming discrimination?"
Happy Holidays!
 With thanks to all who shared and commented.
Cheers!
