Only a qualified medical professional can make a diagnosis of a
learning disability. A nurse is not qualified. Problem is someone
(like you?) might actually take the nurse seriously. It's one thing
for a supervising nurse to make a report that a trainee nurse is
below professional standards, that's her job; but making a diagnosis
is not her job. In most states it is prima facie slander to state
that someone has a mental illness.

For example; just because someone is a curmudgeon doesn't mean they
are a bi-polar, manic depressive, schizophrenic. Big difference
between a character trait and a mental illness.
