Call the human resources dept and talk to the recruiter for aides and clerk. In some states you ca be "certified" by having some nursing school completed. Find out what you need to do to get to work in the hospital. Maybe they have an extern program for nursing students. Maybe unit clerk or surgical tech. No matter what, you will learn some of the protocols and feel more prepared when you graduate.
