Specializes in L&D, infusion, urology.

Have you researched any nursing programs in your area to see what's required? That would be the best place to start. Do a quick Google search, and that will get you started. It'll be easier to help guide you if you have more specific questions.

To give you a very broad sense (and know that some places vary):

Do your general education and prerequisites (prereqs usually include anatomy, physiology, chemistry, microbiology, and other courses)

Apply to nursing programs (extremely competitive- keep your GPA as high as possible)

Complete nursing program

Take licensure exam (NCLEX)

Receive nursing license
