There's an inspirational story about a disabled nurse on Denver's Morning Star. It's titled, "Disabled nurse succeeds despite hurdles, attitudes."

Here's a snippet from the story:

Craig Hospital’s Terry Chase, ND, RN. Chase is patient and family education coordinator for the Englewood hospital that specializes in rehabilitation of severe spinal chord and brain trauma.

I do have some restrictions about lifting and carrying, and have always been aware of safety both for myself and for the patients,” she said.
