Hi Mayali,
I see you are in NYS - so specifically related to NY - you will need to take pre-requisite courses in college--like math, science, etc - you can then apply to a nursing program or nursing school. In NYS you are encouraged to obtain your Bachelors in Nursing although there are also associate programs as well. You'll want to look into what each one offers you to determine which degree is the best fit for you.
Once you get your degree (Associates or Bachelors), you can apply to take the NCLEX (State exam) in order to get your Registered Nurse license.

If you like science and working in a lab you can also explore opportunities in micro biology and cell biology.

Good luck!
