Paper Summary:

This paper states that the author envisions herself as a leader, manager and advocate, working collaboratively with individuals, groups and organizations, to bring awareness and positive change to the careers of disabled nurses. The author relates that, as an individual with a visual impairment, she has consistently experienced discrimination in employment and has been turned down for positions for which she was more than adequately qualified. The paper points out that, as a change leader, one of the primary functions in this work will not only be to educate populations but also to motivate others toward change in regard to organizational culture and policies that affect disabled nurses. The author states that she will gain knowledge regarding instances of medical mistakes, if any, that have been caused because of disabilities of nurses and will draw comparisons to the medical errors that have been noted in relation to non-disabled nurses.
