   NO, you do not have time to enroll. Its not something you just sign up for. you have to apply to the program months in advance and wait and see if the college chooses you to be in the program.
   check out your local community college and get the requirements for the nursing program. do you have classes that you took in canada that will transfer to the US? im not sure how that works. otherwise you need to start taking your basic classes like english, math, science, etc.
   community colleges have 2 yr degrees (ADN) universities have 4 yr degrees (BSN).
