Infectious Disease Nursing School

Hi, and welcome to allnurses.com!!

I see that you are in your first yr of nursing school. You don't have to go to any special school to become an infectious disease nurse. With your RN license you can work on an infectious disease floor in most any hospital.

Now, if you are talking about wanting to become a nurse practitioner in the specialty of infectious disease, that is going to take a master's degree and certification as a nurse practitioner (an exam you take after obtaining your master's). Most master's programs require at least a year or two of nursing experience before entry.

Hope this answers some of your question(s).
