I think you’ll be accepted as a student nurse. And don’t worry about having a C in English, most Americans don’t even have that! I am an English registered nurse, and when I worked in Pennsylvania I had to take pre-requisite exams and one of the subjects was English! The spelling and pronunciation are totally different, I almost failed the exam. I had to misspell to pass! So, I became registered by exam in PA and by reciprocity in NJ. Although I live part time in CA I doubt if they would have accepted the PA & NJ certificates.
CA is harder to become certified. And it used to be that you could get reciprocity in all other states once you had the CA certificate. Anyway, I’ve retired now! The rules may be different.
PS I hope the Volunteer work in hospital does not turn you away from nursing as a career.

Hello!
It will depend on the requirements of the schools you are applying to. What you might want to do is take a look at the admissions requirements of schools you’re interested in.
Since your math and science grades are strong, and you have good AP credits I think you will get into nursing school
