Accessibility Statement
Nurses read this site on phones between patients, on unit workstations, and with assistive technology. It should work in all three.
Draft for owner and legal review. This accessibility statement has not been reviewed or approved by an attorney and is not yet in force. Bracketed items are values the owner must supply. No business entity, entity type, effective date or governing jurisdiction has been assumed.

The site is built toward the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA. It has been reviewed against the checks below in-house; an independent audit has not been completed.
| Check | Status | What was found |
|---|---|---|
| Keyboard navigation | In place | Every link, button, form field and menu on the main site pages can be reached and operated with Tab, Enter, Space and Escape. A skip-to-content link is the first stop on each page. |
| Visible focus states | In place | Focused controls show a three-pixel gold outline offset from the control on every page. |
| Heading order | In place | Each page has one page title as its first heading, and section headings follow in order without skipping levels. |
| Form labels | In place | Every input, select and text area on the contact, mentorship and success story forms has a visible label tied to it. |
| Error messages | In place | Validation messages appear in text next to the form, are announced to screen readers, and describe what to correct rather than only turning a field red. |
| Color contrast | Partial | Navy, burgundy and ink text on ivory and white meet the AA contrast ratio. Muted grey helper text is being re-checked in the older interview practice sections. |
| Tap targets | In place | Buttons and menu items are at least 44 pixels tall on phones, with spacing between adjacent targets. |
| Screen-reader announcements | In place | The mobile menu reports open and closed, form confirmations are exposed as notices, and images that carry meaning have text alternatives. |
| Reduced-motion preference | In place | When your device asks for reduced motion, animations and transitions are switched off site-wide. |
| Mobile tables | Partial | Wide comparison and licensure tables scroll horizontally inside their own container instead of stretching the page. Converting the widest tables to stacked cards on phones is still in progress. |
| Alternative text | In place | Meaningful images describe what they show; decorative graphics are hidden from screen readers. |
| No color-only instructions | In place | Status, warnings and required fields are labelled in words as well as color, so nothing depends on distinguishing a shade. |

Accessibility checks
Some older interactive practice sections were built before this standard and are still being reviewed for muted-text contrast and keyboard order. Printed output uses the on-screen layout rather than a dedicated print stylesheet.
