I would love to hear from you and see what your out look on this would be?

Answer
It is difficult for me to tell you what to do. That is dependent on your motivation and desire. Dyslexia is not a restriction although it will certainly make it more difficult for you. Before you can become a CRNA you must first pass a nursing degree program so start out with that and see how you do. You can decide after that.
