To be an effective teacher and for most college universities you need to complete the undergraduate classes before getting admitted to the teacher candidate program. Even if you have a degree, expect another 4 years on top of the previous degree.
You have to account for the observations and student teaching portions, as well as classes. Teaching requires a lot of experience and a lot of work compared to the stereotypical beliefs of some people.

The answer to your question depends on several factors. 1) The state in which you live as the rules for credentials vary by state 2) Do you have a BS or a BA in nursing or are you a nurse that does not require 4 years.
You might be able to just take a semester of education classes and student teach if you have a 4 year degree. Another option would be to become a school nurse.
