Learning Disabilities and Memory issues

I want to be a Nurse, basically obtain a second bachelors degree in Nursing.... I am concerned about my learning disabilites interfering with my abilitiy with memorizing medical terms, and was wondering what do I do about accommodations in college. Is there a accomodation that can help with memory issues that are severe or what about also for the NCLEX exam as well.... I want to know should I both trying to attend and is there a lot of memorization needed. I also have a bachelors degree in management and a 2.97 do you think this is good to get in to Nursing School....

    From what I understand, colleges are legally required to provide reasonable accommodations for those with documented disabilities, including nursing programs. Generally, there is something like a Students with Disabilities Center that helps with determining and getting accommodations for your courses.

    Your GPA may be an issue with acceptance into a program, as nursing programs are generally fairly competitive. You may want to see what your GPA would be with just your 60 most recent credits, as some schools will go off the last 60 credits, and you will want to ensure you make very high grades in your prereq courses. Try to find programs that have an interview component or don't consider your GPA as a major portion in their ranking.
