I hope this helps; I just did a quick overview in each scene of the Act (IV).

In Scene I of Act IV:

Friar Laurence meets with Paris and they talk, before Juliet interrupts. Paris leaves and Juliet weeps to the Friar about her marriage that is being planned with Paris, and she ask for help from the Friar. The Friar gives her a potion that will make her appear to be dead. Their plan after this was supposed to go as follows: she will not have to be married, her family will bury her, and Romeo will come and rescue her. At this point in their plan they would reveal what they had done, to their families.

In Scene II of Act IV:

Juliet goes to her father to apologize about how she did not want to marry Paris, and how she had made a big scene. Her father accepts her apology, and moves up the wedding by one day. (This plays a big part, as it messes up the Friar's plan to tell Romeo to rescue Juliet from the burial chamber in time.)

In Scene III of Act IV:

Juliet ponders what will happen when she drinks the potion, and what it will be like when she is put in the burial chamber (Will Romeo not come in time, or will the ghost and demons of Tybalt and her other family members haunt her.) She does not want to marry Paris, so if the potion does not work she plans to kill herself with a dagger.

At the end of the scene she drinks the potion.

In Scene IV of Act IV:

The family is getting ready for the wedding. Lady Capulet tells the Nurse to wake up Juliet.

In Scene V of Act IV:

The Nurse and the Family discover Juliet, and believe that she is dead. The Friar (who knows the truth) and Paris find out soon after. All of the flowers, food, and preparations from Juliet and Paris's wedding have been moved to be used for her funeral.

What scene does Juliet send the nurse to get Romeo?

We don't actually see this happen. What we see is Juliet promising to send a messenger to Romeo the next day at nine, then Romeo talks to the friar, then Romeo and the Nurse show up in the marketplace. Juliet may be giving her instructions to the Nurse while Romeo is talking to Friar Lawrence in Act II Scene III; it certainly happens after scene 1 and before scene 3.
