You'll spend a considerable amount of time in school. All nurse practitioners must first be registered nurses, so a bachelor's degree in nursing is a requirement, as is passing the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN). Then, you'll have to get a nurse practitioner degree, which can take anywhere from two to four years to procure. Then there's additional certification to use the APRN title and board certification for your specialty (women's health, pediatrics or neonatal, to name a few).
