Great question! There are a bunch of different factors that will impact your process to get into college. I'd recommend listening to a great podcast called "Getting In" that is designed to help high school students navigate the college admissions process.
Nursing programs are very competitive these days and good nurses are in critical demand. You may want to try volunteering at a local hospital or clinic so you can "get a feel" for what goes on behind the scenes.

I would begin researching what colleges offer nursing programs and see if the required courses speak to you. My cousin entered a four year college that did not have a nursing program but had her enter a a bio major. After a year, she transferred into Morris County Community College, because she was able to obtain her RN after completing their RN program. She then went on William Paterson University for her BSN. Of course, she also had to pass Certification Exams after her coursework. So, remain cautious about how some colleges may justify you applying to their school without a nursing program. Contact Falician College and Montclair University's nursing department. Additionally, volunteer at a hospital or become involved with a children's hospital. Akso talk to as many nurses as you can from beginners to veterans!
