If I sued my university everytime my professors act like assholes I would be rich.

It is even worse than just being too stupid. If one cannot handle stressful situations, one cannot be a nurse. People could fucking die if they made her a nurse, if she cannot handle stress.
Fortunately, courts usually are not so incredibly stupid as to fail to realize that worthless students are unhappy about their grades because they are worthless students.

She is a fucking idiot and the lawyers too. They have tests for a reason.

Is this implying she is disabled?

It seems like everybody's disabled under the ADA.
