i will be a college freshman in the fall

and i am 18 so i know there are some jobs i can do age wise

Actually, the best thing would be to become a CNA or certified nursing assistant. Sometimes hospitals will take you and certify you there. You could also try being a PCA or personal care attendant. If you are interesting in going into nursing I would encourage you to get some hands on patient experience since it is usually a lot different than people expect. Stocking shelves is a lot different than draining urine from a catheter bag...you get what I mean? You might be better off getting a job at a Long Term Care facility or nursing home, they usually need more help than the hospitals. Go to your locate hospitals website and contact human resources.

you would have to intern as a candy stripper till you learn the profession.

internships; ask your high school teachers if you can use them as a reference or preferrably have them write a letter on how good of a student you are

Volunteer at a Nursing Home. This would get you 'into' the health care field. Without some kind of 'degree' like LNA it is unlikely that you could get a paying job in the field.
