RN licensure required?

Is an RN license required to get into a NP program and receive an MSN? or can a person with any bachelor's degree apply into an NP program?

    If you apply to a direct entry NP program you will normally study your first year to pass the NCLEX to become an RN before you move into your specialty training. In this case you don’t need to have an RN prior to applying to a NP program but you do need to have a bachelor’s degree (it can be in any major but with the more specialized majors like a BFA, you might need to get some pre-reqs or general education requirements completed first before you can apply since these might be required for state licensure) first before you can apply to a masters program.

    Yes, you need to have your RN license in order to do a NP program.

    They do have programs for non-RN to become NPs; in these programs the first portion of the program awards makes you eligible to take the NCLEX, you pass the test and get your RN license, then proceed into the graduate portion of the program.
