You have to take all the required classes for nursing at an accredited school. Then take and pass the test for your RN license.
Probably only have to do 6 months, one semester full time or two semesters part time.
Go to a college advisor and see what you need.

apply to a college that has a nursing program and will accept the classes you have taken already
you will have to take any classes that nursing requires that biology doesn't (probably only the 'core' nursing classes, you probably already have the prerequisites)
then after the joy of school, you get to sit for your boards (nclex)
good luck!

you can't you have to go to school specifically for nursing in order to get an degree
the nursing program is exactly 3 semesters for LPN and 6 semesters for associate RN degree
not matter if you have a biology degree
