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.
