Nurse practitioners must have at least a 4 year degree in order to  be a nurse. However, every state has different guidelines and some  may require a Master's degree.
Although two years is the minimum required to be an RN, there may be a semester or two added to the overall time because you have prerequisites for nursing school that need to be met. That said, total time to complete an associateâs degree in nursing may be closer to 2 to 3 years from start to finish.
