Welcome to the Exceptional Nurse Blog! I am Donna Maheady, EdD, ARNP, founder of www.ExceptionalNurse.com, the nonprofit resource committed to inclusion of people with disabilities in nursing. We facilitate inclusion of students with disabilities in nursing education programs and foster resilience and continued practice for nurses who are, or become, disabled. We celebrate abilities, share resources and examples of nurses with disabilities who work with and without accommodations.

Do you have an invisible disability?
If so, is it harder to work as a nurse with an invisible disability?

If you have an invisible disability, consider submitting your story or video to the Invisible Disabilities Association.
Nurses need to be included!
Please read the following blog post and share your thoughts.....
