Nurse practitioners must have at least a 4 year degree in order to  be a nurse. However, every state has different guidelines and some  may require a Master's degree.
This typically takes one to two years, depending on how much time the nurse can devote to studies. A doctor of philosophy in nursing takes an additional two to three years to complete. Graduates of a master's program or a doctor of philosophy program can also become nurse educators. Other options are less common.
