| Diane Bass, BSN |
Safe 'N' Clear featured Diane Bass in an article and shared the following. "Bass encourages others to work at or join a developing a supportive community network. Bass moderates a Facebook nursing group because an instructor made the comment that, “There are no Deaf /Hard of hearing people in the nursing field.” The Facebook group is for those who are in the nursing field and have self-disclosed as being on the spectrum of deafness. Members are those with jobs in the nursing field ranging from Certified Nurse Assistant to Nurse Practitioner to PhD or DNP in nursing."
"Bass has worked with Britny Bensman with DeafMED to do first
aid and blood pressure screenings for the Deaf community. Children with
deafness came to Bass and Bensman and were shocked to see them in a medical
field. Bass and Bensman were able to become their role models."
"For those in a comparable situation to Bass, she says, “do
not accept negativity that is not based on fact. In fact, we are the proof that
we can do it,” and “any seeming failure should never stop you, it only creates
a new opportunity to reach the accomplishment.” We are incredibly proud to
showcase Diane Bass, BSN in the Deaf Leader Series as she continues to work
towards diversifying healthcare workforce to be inclusive and improve quality
of healthcare for the deaf and hard of hearing communities."
