There's few members like Sxyporkie that said deaf people can't be registered nurses then I don't believe what their said and make me feel upset about it.

Well, I don't know too much about that field, but I would like to say, that I have already set my sights on being a chartered accountant, and have already signed a contract which will begin in 2009, anyway, just wanted to say those who wanna be CA's - its a cool field but it demands a helluva lot of work!! But again-Nothing is impossible!! I went for vac work, and guess what...I got the highest score out of everyone that went!!]

That's not true. My wife's mother used to work at a hospital with a Dr. who was deaf. The Dr., she did excellent & was completly deaf I think she said. I don't remember..But, either way its true deaf people can be a CNA, RN, Dr., etc.

I get tired of seeing people say that the deaf and disabled can't do things. It's like this, folks.

If you can dream it, you can make it happen. All it takes is hardwork and determination along with some good services to help make things possible.

Any deaf person can become a doctor or nurse if they so choose. They may need terps to help them or other services, but there shouldn't be anything stopping someone from achieving any goals they may have for themselves.
 
Where the hell did Porkie get an idea like that? :confused: We have a member here on this very message board who is deaf as a rock and is a licensed respiratory therapist. She worked in the ER of a major metropolitan medical facility for 15 years. Does anybody have a clue who I'm talking about? :roll: I know several deaf people who work in the medical professions, including a student at the UCLA School of Medicine who is probably in her first year of internship right now. I myself am trying to scrape up enough money to finish a bachelor’s degree in dietetics and work as an RD in a research hospital. I may not be completely deaf, but my hearing is impaired enough to cause me some occupational stress. Have you ever heard of AMPHL? It certainly wouldn’t exist if there were no deaf people in the medical professions.

Yea, she did that in event section and instant messaging but she started told to Nesmuth.
 
OHh come on! all deaf people can do it cuz i m plan go back college in Jan and i m wanna become be ETM(hopsital) or be nurse which my goal
 
I do however believe that deaf people can be nurses and even become a doctor if they are motivated to become one and have the passion instilled. There are so many tools that can help a deaf nurse be accessible to begin with. I have met and known some deaf nurses which is great. There is a deaf guy who I used to date with - He is an EMT and he says he has entercountered alot of the issues which makes him works twice than the other fellow EMTs does. He also has said that there were questions asked like "How can you hear the stetscope?", "How can you hear the breathings?", so and on. You get the picture.

I am also aware that there are alot of skepticals about wondering how the deaf nurse can deal with the daily basis trying to work with a patient that has no knowledge of how to deal with a deaf person but, that's part of the challenge and there are ways to make it work by using different resources or tools to break down the communication barrier.

Actually there are a few Deaf nurses but hard to get a job thou. There is a student I know from Gallaudet .. she is a registered nurse - now working in maternity area somewhere in Colorado - I think. There are a very few Deaf doctors too! I have met 4 of them so far in Boston. The Veterinarian, Psychiarist, Ophthomist (sp. Eye doctor) and Dentist. All of them know ASL! Will get back to you with the link of Deaf in Medical Field.
