masteral degrees

[confuzhn]

What's the difference with a Nurse practitioner, a Post MS certificate?

... and how does one become a Nurse Practitioner? Is it MSN and then another year (or so) course to be a practitioner?

Those Masteral entry programs that takes about two years to finish, what is that, just a generalized MSN and have the option to do a subspecialty.. or..??

What are nurses with subspecialty? are they masteral nurses also?

Basically, can someone please explain the different masteral degrees out there, how many months/years of full time study it would take to achieve that, and if there's any work experience requirements to enhance one's application.

thankyou

Such degrees are "master's degrees" not masteral. And yes, there are differences. I am sure an advanced-practice RN with more qualifications to speak than I will be along to help you soon!

Good luck!
