Master's degree programs for RNs with a bachelor's degree generally take 1-3 years to complete, depending on the school and the specialty. Graduates with a non-nursing bachelor's degree have the option of enrolling in a BSN-to-master's degree fast-track program.
Graduates must then work for between two and five years as a registered nurse, depending on provincial requirements, before pursuing a degree as a nurse practitioner. The masterâs level designation is typically completed after a two-year program, and involves a mix of both in-class and on-the-job training.
