You may want to inquire directly to the admissions office or College of Nursing what role, if any, math plays in coursework and what support is offered.

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.
