What can i do to prepare for nursing school before I enroll?? any good books?

If you haven't already I would go and volunteer for a week or so at a hospital, helping nurses, to get a better idea of what the job really entails. No disrespect to the previous answer, but it ain't all Florence Nightengale stuff. It also isn't what you see on TV. Know what you're getting into BEFORE you blow a year (or more) on pre-reqs and find it isn't for you.

How about reading books about Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing?
Like this one: Heart and Soul: The Story of Florence Nightingale
