how to become NP, need suggestion

Published

Hi, everyone:

I am new here and I really need some suggestions. I had my MSN in public health already, and what should I do in order to become NP. Do I need to catch up some courses or I have to enroll some kind of program? will school allow people only enroll simple course? ...

Thanks in ahead

You need a B.S. in nursing first and then you have to complete masters program in nursing.

If you want to become an NP, you would need to find an NP program that offers post-graduate certificates. Many schools that offer the MSN NP programs do offer the certificates, also. You could probably transfer in some of your graduate credits depending on the course and how long ago you took it.
