How to Become a Disability Nurse
By Silas Reed
Disabled jobs in the nursing field are growing daily. There are going to be even more disability jobs available as people get older, and if you want to be a nurse or other healthcare provider in this area, the time is now to get started. Just because you have a desire to help people less fortunate than you are doesn't mean you can just run out and get employed, there are things you need to know and do before hand. Having a strong back, friendly attitude and a desire to help is of course great, but this is only a start.

In order to get a nursing disabled job, you need to get some education. Most people with disability jobs have some sort of college training, and some with degrees. The first basic steps would of course be to get certified in CPR, and First Aid. Then the next step is to enroll in your local community college or vocational school courses for licensed vocational nursing, (LVN), licensed practical nurse, (LPN), or even for a degree as a registered nurse, (RN). Now this is going to take some time, and there are courses that can last from 2-4 years, depending on what kind of field you are going for.

The next step to get a disabled job in nursing is to pass your licensing exams. These exams are designed to test your knowledge and skills in whichever area you are going for, and are essential in order to begin looking for disability jobs in the field of nursing. Part of the requirement is that you complete 4,000 hours or more working with disabled patients, either in a nursing institution, or other setting like a convalescent hospital. You can also get experience through work in disability programs like a consultant, administrator or even an educator.

The next step in getting a disabled job is to apply for the intellectual, and disabilities nursing certification exam, but only after you have had the actual work hours put into it. Not only is this a requirement, but as you are getting ready for this, it is a good idea to prepare yourself ahead of time. You are going to have to do extensive studying in the areas of developmental problems in the elderly, disabled adults, as well as children, and have to be able to recognize the signs of disabilities in all appropriate age groups.

The next step in the process in to apply for the exam, and you can contact the Developmental Disabilities Nurses Association, or DDNA to do this. You will receive a letter from them, and it is important that you wait for this, because it will include a special code you will have to use when setting up the exam. Once you have passed the test, and gotten your certification, then you are ready to start looking for a disabled job.

Looking for disabled jobs can be a daunting task, but the more education, certification, and experience you have, the better your chances are. You can look for disability jobs online, and there are many websites that can help you in you search. Convalescent hospitals, and nursing homes are also good for trying to find work, and some of these places have a high turn over rate and are in constant need of qualified people.
