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.
The length of time it takes to become a nurse depends on what nursing degree you will study and the course load you want to take. It generally takes 1 to 2 years to become an LPN without an academic degree. An Associateâs Degree in Nursing generally takes 2 to 3 years. A Bachelorâs degree takes between 4 to 5 years. There are RN to BSN Programs and they generally take 2 to 3 years to complete. There are also Fast Track Nursing Programs, which are available for students with a Bachelorâs degree who want to become a nurse, and they take anywhere from 12 to 18 months.
