I am proud of the fact that I have a learning disability as an Instructor! Yes it can still be difficult for myself to learn new material. I always let my students know about how I have this learning disability and how I have been able to overcome my disability thus far! I am a BSN RN and furthering my career/education for my PhD in Nursing Education for this very reason. I feel that we can motivate and encourage our students by sharing our life history with them. From what I have seen my students feel empowered to continue on in their nursing education after hearing how I have been able to overcome, thus far, my learing disabilities. It also opens my eyes to be more compassionate and understanding with how these students learn.
