I am planning on getting like specialty nursing, but then Ive been curious on how to get a specific specialty.

How can i get a specialty? Is it only from seminars?

And, is it different on getting a degree such as masters in nursing?:o

Could you be a little more specific?
Are you a nurse now?
Are you asking about graduate school?

Once you become an RN you can choose an area of nursing that interests you such as ICU or OR or Pediatrics and find a job at a hospital that offers internships. You can also get an externship at a hospital while you are in nursing school, working on a floor that interests you. I think that is what you are asking when you say speciality. You can also go to graduate school and become more specialized in a particular area of nursing, such as geriatrics, pediatrics, etc.
