An emergency contraceptive prevents pregnancy by preventing ovulation. There is no need to take a second dose. As long as you took the pill before ovulation occurred, you should be protected both times.
Nausea could just be a side effect of the pill.
If you do not get your next period or do not have any vaginal bleeding within three weeks of taking the pill, test for pregnancy.
