LL. You will never know until you try. Your passion will carry you along way. There are lots of nursing schools and just because you didn't get into one it doesn't mean the end. They may even have you do the academics first and then the clinical. Yes somethings will be a challenge. Everyone has their weak subjects, but you try again. You can usually take a class again if you fail or don't do as well as you had hoped. Don't let something you feel so strongly about remain uncharted territory. Start taking courses that are easily transferable or take them at the school you want to apply to. If they see you doing well it's much harder to not admit you.
