How long would it take to obtain an ARNP?

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!
