NOND

Voice of disability in nursing! An open membership, cross-disability, professional organization promoting equity for people with disabilities in nursing.

[NOND @NONDORG]

Nursing is NOT an Allied Healthcare Field. Nursing stands alone as a separate entity and career. Essential Functions are NOT Technical Standards. Essential Functions are directed to employment and a job description which should include with or without accommodations

[NOND @NONDORG]

For student nurses who may have low vision, NOND hopes that you will apply for a scholarship from the American Council of the Blind. Deadline, Feb. 15.

[ACB Students @acbstudents]

The American Council of the Blind Scholarship application is open! Along with monetary awards, recipients are invited to attend the national ACB convention in July, which will be in Rochester this year! The deadline is Friday, February 15th.

NOND sends our Warmest Wishes for a Happy, Healthy and Safe Holiday Season!
Pick up the phone and call a friend, knock on the door of a neighbor, and
reach out to someone to let them know you remember them. Holidays can be very lonely for some. Helping Others Helps Ourselves!

The payment of subminimum wage to people with disabilities has been going on since 1938 when the Fair Labor Standards Act Section 14 c was enacted. It is time to STOP!!! We are in the 21st Century!

[AAPD @AAPD]

"Our nation’s commitment to end discrimination against people with disabilities must include ending the payment of subminimum wages, otherwise it is nothing more than a hollow platitude."

The workplace must never let discrimination and bias—both intentional and unintentional—go unchecked. This and two other elements can improve employee well-being. https://t.co/1osmb9BLbT

With sincere sadness. NOND also celebrates Pres. George H. Bush for his leadership in signing the Americans with Disabilities Act 1990. For those who became disabled after 1990, you have no idea what America was like prior to this law. Thank you Pres. George H. Never forgotten

Kindness seems to be something you are born with or learn about very early in life. You can reap the benefit of caring for others.
Helping Others Helps Ourselves! THINK NURSING!

[NOND @NONDORG]

@GHMansfield People with disabilities are part of the human capital of talent in the United States. It is not about our disability, it is about societal attitudes that impact negative impressions and lower expectation of our abilities. We are not our disability!

[NOND @NONDORG]

Great Resource for Nurses with Disabilities planning to apply for employment or for those wanting to return to work. The emphasis is on your skills, not your disability!

Florence Nightingale frequently identified as the "Mother of Nursing" was DISABLED. NONDs' roots are deeply embedded in history where nurses with disabilities are transforming the practice of nursing. We may do it differently but come out with the same outcomes. We are CREATIVE!
