Advice to improve English would be to devote yourself to taking some ESL (English As A Second Language) classes. Your local community college should have some. Get a tutor. Have "English Only" days in your home where nobody is allowed to speak in any other language.

Many people who aren't native English speakers go on to graduate from nursing school and work as a nurse. You will want to make sure, though, that you are fluent. Focus on learning English, take the pre-requisites for nursing school and just keep chipping away at it. 

Note that you will want to make sure you are good with English by the time you take NCLEX. Those who do not have a good grasp on the English language have far higher fail rates for NCLEX (the licensing exam for nursing) than native English speakers do.
