I'd recommend checking your community college for some life science classes. Since you haven't graduated yet, they may not count for credit, but they'd help you get ahead for the fall.

I'd recommend:
Anatomy and physiology
Biology
Chemistry

and check your local YMCA for a CPR certification class. Most medical employers will require you to take this class anyway.

is it possible for you to take a summer school class at the community college that is required in the nursing program? If it is allowed, sign up for a class. Find out what the classes are that you have to have. Talk to the nursing department at the college. I would take one of the easier college courses, like speech, political science, psychology. It's going to be your first college class so don't overwhelm yourself.

The other person mentioned CPR class. That's a wonderful thing to learn, but it also needs to be renewed each year. You may want to look for a part time job in the health care industry. To me, that would be fun, plus you would earn money and have an advantage over other nursing school applicants.
