I havent taken very many science courses. I guess what I'm really asking is whether or not there are schools that will taken in non-science undergrads into their schools.
If you know of any, please list them.

Sure you can. I have a bachelor's in another field when I started nursing. They are happy to see that you have the drive and motivation to finish college-level work. And being an English major means you can write, spell, communicate, reason and think logically and these are all very important things. You will most likely have to take many science prerequisites, usually Biology, Chemistry, Anatomy, Physiology, Microbiology, sometimes Organic Chemistry too. They will also have some others they want you to have, usually Psychology or Sociology, Speech, English, Math but most likely you have all those because you did your general ed while pursuing your bachelor's degree in English.
So, when you finish this degree, you can apply to a 2 yr or 4 yr college to major in nursing. You won't be able to get as many loans, scholarships or grants, they don't like to give those unless you are going upwards, meaning associates -> bachelors -> masters -> doctorate. If you are just collecting degrees you'll have to pay for it yourself. It may be possible at the school you are at now if they have a nursing program, check it out and see.

Yes you can, becoming a nurse doesn't always require a degree. You just go through the program a college has and then take the state exam to get licensed.
