Should I forget about nursing?

Specializes in None..

I'm 16, and I really want to be a nurse when I'm older, but I have nonverbal learning disability. I'm horrible at math, and I can't seem to wrap my head around it... I don't want to accidentally kill a patient. I also sometimes have trouble retaining a lot of information. I am willing to try really hard for it, but I just want to know if it's hopeless or not.

As long as you know basic math and are repetitive with all subjects then you should be okay. If your problem solving abilities are good then that's a plus too. You can always start taking the prerequisites and you may find yourself doing just fine in nursing or, not doing so great but falling in love with another subject that you can grasp. Wouldn't hurt
