What education is needed to become a nurse practioner?

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.
