Here's what you need to do: Wake the nano by clicking the sleep/wake button on the top-right edge.If you're not already there, get to the nano's home screen by swiping left to right until it appears.Tap and hold the app icon you want to move until the icons begin shaking (in the way same that you move icons on iOS devices).Drag the app, or apps, to where you want them to be.

Apple doesn't give you a way to remove them.

There's no equivalent of the App Store for the nano (though some early models did have third-party apps). There's a lot of complexity required to support third-party apps that users can install on their own.
