Sarah's VR Story (ND video transcript)

TM Tribal MemberFirst I walked about really bummed out and then a friend told me to give Voc Rehab a call. So the next day I made my appointment with a voc rehab counselor. I couldn’t believe all the services they had! At first I thought maybe I’d like to try nursing; after all, I had attended some college and did okay. But my counselor helped me understand that the physical demands of nursing can be pretty tough too. So, together, we looked at my talents and needs and matched them with a job more suited to what I could do.

Now, after training and some blood, sweat and tears, I have a new career! (PROUDLY) Meet Sarah Johnson, the phlebotomist! I “professionally” draw blood at a nice new clinic surrounded by friendly people. I’m even taking home more pay.

Am I happy? You bet, thanks to Voc Rehab! They go to work…for you!
