ur thinking of abandoning your dreams of becoming a nurse because your bad at spelling? No you should definitely NOT consider a different career. You can absolutely get over this issue. Learn to spell the names of prescriptions and things, but other than that, I don't think this will be that big a problem for you!
Go for your dreams! Forget spelling!

If you want to become a nurse, then go for it. You'll just have to work harder at the spelling of things. If you really want this, you can do it. I'm certain of it. Besides, a lot of those medications and medical terminology words are difficult to spell, but once you do it often enough, it will come easy. It will just take time. :-)
PS: All those other answers that are telling you that spelling isn't important and doesn't apply to being a nurse do not know what the hell they are talking about. I've worked in the medical profession for over 14 years, and I know first hand how important spelling is! You definitely do not want someone to misinterpret your notes as it is important for patients getting well and for their current stability during their hospital stay. You don't want someone to misread your words and do something FATAL to a patient. So those people telling you that spelling has nothing to do with nursing, do not know what the hell they are talking about.
YOU CAN DO THIS though...even though you are not great at spelling. You can certainly practice enough to get better and be a great nurse! :-)

Only if you're not that serious about being a nurse. But you could also branch into different departments in nursing...one that doesn't require you taking notes...because you CAN read though, right? =P

My doctor is horrible at spelling.
But now that they have computers in the offices, it helps him.
Also, there's a pocket electronic dictionary, that helps you spell.
Maybe you may invest in one.
Don't give up on something you really want. Just find a way to make it easier for you to enjoy it.

No, since most medical terminology is based on root words-you should be OK if you can memorize these. Just study!

Defiantly not. Nurses don't need to know how to spell, and if you really want to become a nurse then you should try to work hard and improve your spelling skills. My cousin was a nurse before and she didn't need to spell but the peoples names (which you can ask them how to spell).

If you have a difficult time remembering how to spell words then you will most likely have problems remembering medical terms they are very intense. but there are other health care fields less demanding that need caregivers.Certified nursing assistant is one of many.

Spelling schmelling! If you want to become a nurse -- DO IT!!! I've had professors that admittedly couldn't spell. Besides, the more you do it, the better you'll get at spelling. I say... go for it. The health-care industry is definitely in need of good nurses. Good luck!!!

Spell checkers are beautiful inventions. Almost everything is done on computers these days in school and in hospitals, and using spell check makes things so much easier.

If you are ready to give up on nursing because of that then yes. There are a lot of things that you won't be great at, but as a nurse if you try to avoid these things that you are not wonderful at, like spelling, then you will never get better at them. Nursing school takes a lot of focus, dedication and studying. However then you look back on all the things you felt you could never overcome and you see that you did and actually did them very well. Don't be the nurse or person that avoids things that are difficult, the easy things are rarely worth doing. good luck :)
