Nope, not yet. At any school you have to get a BA right, then get into a grad school to be a NP which PSU does have.

It takes 4 years including university.
You need either a master's or doctoral degree from a college or university to become a nurse practitioner. You will also be required to obtain certification from the medical board in the United States.
To become a nurse practitioner in the UK one would have to complete high school and college.
There are many schools which offer online nurse practitioner programs. Some include the Women's Health Nurse Practitioner program at the University of Cincinnati. Georgetown University offers a few online courses one could take such as Family Nurse Practitioner and the Adult Gerontology Acute Care program.
A nurse practitioner education program is a graduate school level program and is the equivalent of a masters degree. In total 6 years (at least) of education to be a nurse practitioner. In Canada you must have a university degree in nursing in order to get into a nurse practitioner program as well as a number of years experience as a nurse. Once a nurse practitioner program is completed you must write an entrance exam to obtain your license. A regular nursing license does not include the competencies for a nurse practitioner so another exam must be written to test the higher level competencies and skills required of a nurse practitioner. As of 2015, Ceritification and/or Board Ceritication will be required.
"There's various types of Nurse Practitioner jobs including Geriatric Nurse Practitioner, Rehabilitation Nurse Practitioner, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, Family Nurse Practitioner, etc. These are all great nurse practitioner jobs, though the best is personal preference."
Family nurse practitioners have education starting from registered nurse and moving to advanced registered nurse. They must have a master degree in Registered nursing then a practical registered nurse before can become a nursing practitioner.
Licensed Practical Nurse, Registered Nurse (diploma), Registered Nurse with B.S. degree, Nurse Practitioner. All of these are nurses.
Each college or university will have requirements particular to itself. Grade point average is just one part of the selection process. Once you collect the names of some institutions you have an interest in, you can then inquire about the specific criteria particular to that school. I assume you are aware that the minimum educational requirement for a nurse practitioner is a master's degree in nursing.
It appears not. However, the School of Medicine does have a Nurse Practitioner program, but you would have to be a nurse first.

I see a nurse practitioner on a regular basis. A nurse practitioner is able to write out prescriptions to patients, and complete physical exams on patients.
