How long does it take to earn a masters degree as a nurse practitioner?

Answer 1

Nurse Practitioner RequirementsNurse practitioners are advanced practice registered nurses (RNs) who have obtained a master's degree in a nurse practitioner specialty. Nurse practitioners perform examinations relevant to their specialty, make assessments and diagnoses, order or perform diagnostic tests, perform minor surgical procedures, provide medical treatment and prescribe medications under the supervision of a licensed doctor. The length of time it takes to become a nurse practitioner depends on whether the candidate has a bachelor's degree or not. Fast-track programs exist for non-nurses who have a bachelor's degree; these programs allow them to complete the requirements for a master's degree as a nurse practitioner in about three years. Nurses with a master's degree in a different nursing discipline can complete a post-graduate certificate program in 2-9 months. New students will require 5-7 years to become nurse practitioners.

Answer 3

It depends on the degree level (master's or doctorate) as indicated below.

The master's degree can take approximately two to three years to complete post bachelor's degree. The actual length of time depends on the specific program of study (in this case nursing); the credit load carried per semester, and provided the student takes the degree as prescribed by the college or university.

The PhD would take approximately four years post bachelor's to complete. The actual length of time depends much on how long it takes a student to prepare and defend their dissertation, which is an individual student project advancing an original view point on a topic of the students choosing with extensive supporting research and approved by a designated committee.
