Hello,

Does anyone have information regarding the switch from just doing your Masters to get a NP certificate and having to do the Doctorate?

There's the proposal that it's the DNP (not PhD) to practice as an NP by 2015, but it's not official yet.

You can search on the forum; there's been a bunch of threads regarding this.
