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.

After obtaining your RN (about 2-3 years) you work as an RN for 1 year at the least and go back and take more nursing classes. For another 2 years you will be studying to become an ARNP. After this you will be an ARNP and could obtain your ARNP-C (Certified Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner). Hope I could Help!
