Asking for ideas!

I am wanting to become an RN, problem is I never took any ACT's or any pre-tests. I am wondering if someone could give me some pointers on which schools to look into, where to start, grants, money for college, etc. I graduated high school last year. I want to go to college more than ever, but I feel like i can't get any help advice on where to begin! Becoming an RN is something I have wanted to do for a very long time, and I want to be one step closer to making it happen!
Moved to the nursing career forum
Why move it to nursing career? "Nurses giving other nurses career advice. Looking to change Nursing specialties? Suggestions, information, and discussions started by nurses for nurses."wouldn't the pre-nurse student section be more appropriate?
