I would suggest you make an appointment with the Director of nursing at your local hospital. Ask him or her about what are the responsibilities of a registered nurse and what jobs are done by a registered nurse within the hospital(s).
If you hear one of more jobs that sound interesting ask if you can job follow those positions for a few days and ask the Nurses where they went to school and what they thought about the schools they went to? Did those schools properly prepare them for these jobs? Are there better schools that would prepare them for these positions? If you have more then one hospital in your area call them all.
The people doing the work and who went to the schools are the best people to ask. Then you should look at the schools on line. Pick the ones you want to apply to and visit them.
Nurses are in such short supply you just may find a hospital that may be willing to assist with tuition in return for you contracting to work for them in return for a certain period of time. This would be a good deal if you find such a hospital. If such a program is not offered when you are face to face with the director of nursing ask. You have nothing to lose by asking and everything to gain. Just make it your last question.

It depends on what area you're looking in. There are a lot of great schools for Registered Nursing. You should Google it and see which ones you'd be interested in. Nursing is in demand and a lot of schools provide you with the education you need. Some even get you a job after.
