You mean after doing any masters corse.?

[lemur87]

You can get a masters degree that qualifies you to sit for national certifying exams. The degree is called a masters in nursing (MSN). You can also skip a masters degree and get a DNP which would qualify you to sit for the same exam and become an NP. For both of these options you need to have a bachelors degree...most schools require a bachelors in nursing as well as experience as an RN. But there are a few schools that let you start the program without a nursing degree, and just any bachelors degree I think.
