I would be careful with generalizations and stereotypes, Heather. It would be difficult for someone who is blind to be a practicing nurse in the traditional sense, but there might be a number of jobs someone who is blind could do that would require nursing training (from medical billing to insurance adjusting, and more). Meantime, there ARE deaf nurses and nurses in wheelchairs. There is nothing about the role of a nurse that would preclude someone on the basis of their category of disability. Dr. Jane Jarrow
