New York State NP or APRN? confused regarding titles


Hi everyone,

This may seem like a silly question because I'm already enrolled in a Master's Program in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing but here goes: Upon graduation (hopefully) from an accredited academic program, I'll be getting an MS (not an MSN). I understand I need to pass the NP exam to be designated as such. What about the APRN designation? I've been clicking around online and getting confusing information. Is APRN a NYS title...would I be an APRN, NP....does passing the NP test give you both credentials?

Thanks - Mike
