About ExceptionalNurse.com
ExceptionalNurse.com
began as a grassroots effort to address the needs of nursing
students and nurses with disabilities. Currently, there is a
paucity of information available for this growing group of
nurses. The site was developed by Donna Maheady, Ed.D., ARNP.
Dr. Maheady is a pediatric nurse practitioner and nursing care
consultant. She has taught nursing for over 20 years and
worked with nursing students with a wide range of
disabilities. Her doctoral dissertation addressed the
experiences of nursing students with disabilities. Currently,
she is an adjunct Assistant Professor in the College of
Nursing at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Florida.
Dr. Maheady has a daughter who is mentally disabled. She is a
member of the Florida Local Advocacy Council for Developmental
Disabilities, a gubernatorial appointment, and is an active
advocate for people with disabilities. Please
address any questions or suggestions to Dr. Maheady at: ExceptionalNurse.com (561)
