Please help point a newbie in the right direction!

hi! I'm new here to the Nursing forum and looking for some advice. My daughter is currently a High School sophomore and desperately wants to be a nurse however she has a severe learning disability in math and I know that this will hinder her ability to not only get into a nursing program but also to excel in one should she gain admission. She is a straight-A student other than her barely-passing math grades, so it's not like she is a poor student overall. Also, her background is unusual and she has life experiences that rival many adults' so I'm hoping this makes her an interesting candidate to potential admissions officers. Are there any lists here on the forum of "less prestigious" or "easier admit" nursing schools, particularly in the NorthEast that possibly will have resources for LD and will look at the applicant in a holistic way rather than write her off due to math struggles? Advice appreciated greatly

At my daughter's school certain majors (including nursing) had to take a math placement test before registering for freshmen classes. She doesn't have to take a math class per se, but math is used in several classes including those where you have to determine dosages or do conversions.
At other programs we looked at, nursing majors had to take a college-level introductory algebra class as part of the curriculum. So it definitely will vary based on program, but in general there is an expectation of a base level of math readiness.
She has taken upper-level math classes at her school, which is a rigorous district in NY that requires acceleration for all students. So she has Algebra, Geometry, Advanced Algebra and then will have Trig next year. She will skip Calculus.
I would hate to see her disability in this one limited are affect her ability to pursue something she has wanted since she was a kid. I will continue to research and gather info and appreciate all of your help and suggestions! Thank you
