will lower back problems restrict my ability to be a nurse?

I was hoping to get some good advice from some experienced nurses. I am currently doing my prerequisites for nursing and am hoping to actually begin the nursing program sometime in spring 08. However, I have been having lower back issues since May 2005. I have been in physical therapy and that has not really helped. My question is, how much will this restrict my abilities to do my job fully? Should I think about pursuing another career? My Microbiology instructor insists that I would be wonderful in research. This option sounds very intriguing, but, I have always wanted to be a nurse. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

By the way, I have had one Xray show mild degenerative disc disorder between L5 and S1 and another one stating that my L5 is fused to S1 (a common abnormality).

Thanks for all advice

Overall I have to agree with hfdguy, and Tweety. I'd look elsewhere.
