Nurse Practitioner help????


I am UC Berkeley student getting My BA degree in Integrative Biology. I want to become a nurse practitioner, but I don't know where to start. What are some of the exams I have to pass and what kind of education do I need to go through when I already have a Bachelor of Art degree in Integrative biology in UC Berkeley?

You need a BSN... bachelor in the science of nursing...

some of your courses that you have already completed will probably satisfy most of the requirements for the BSN...

But some wont... you'll have to meet those additional courses

Then you will have to pass the NCLEX which is the test that licenses you to be an RN in your state...

Then you will have to work as a nurse to gain experience...

Then you can return to school and get your MSN (masters in the science of nursing )...

Then you can again take another test to certify you as an NP (nurse practitioner)

You need to take a Bachelor degree in Nursing first and then apply for Master's in Nursing to join for NP program.You might be able to complete Bachelor degree in a year since you have a BA degree in Biology
