CRNA to DNAP

I have a question regarding the pathway to the acquisition of a DNAP. I plan to become a CRNA before 2025, thus being grandfathered in once the DNAP requirement comes into practice, but if I decide later that I want to receive a DNAP, how long would this process take? I've done some research online, and all I've found is programs going straight from a BSN to a DNAP. Is it possible to go back once you're already certified as a CRNA? If so, how long would this process take, and is it possible to do this part-time, so as to work during the process?

    It generally takes 2 yrs full time and 3 yrs part time to go from your MSN to DNP/DNAP.

    I believe there are a couple school offering MSN to DNAP online now also. I'm not sure if the length of time will change once the 2025 req is instated since many of the MS-CRNA programs will become BSN to DNAP in 3 yrs.
