Becoming a Oncology nurse... plase help!!!?

My brother has leukemia and after watching and studying the oncology nurses coming every day. I found out want I was looking for. I want to be and oncology nurse in the PICU. How can I become one? There education, schooling, salary ect.. Please help.

First of all, you need to visit a nursing college. It is best to earn a BSN (bachelor of Science is Nursing) from an accredited 4 year university. You can then specialize in oncology by earning certification through ONS (Oncology Nursing Society). It is very hard work to become and maintain status as an oncology nurse. You must also be a detail-oriented person. Work on your spelling and grammar before you apply. Good luck.

Here is an outline of what is involved to become a nurse in the United States:
