Is getting a masters degree in nursing to be a nurse practitioner as challenging as earning a bachelor’s degr?

Tari17 asked:


I would like to know if graduate school to be a nurse practitioner is as challenging and hard like getting the bachelors degree in nursing? Are there clinicals, and all of the material to learn in such a small amount of time? Or is it a little better because you have already learned a basis of the material and you are just advancing?

    Much much harder. You need to actually learn to diagnose and treat illness, write Rxs etc. You will learn medicine (not just more nursing)

    It’s much, much more challenging. In fact, the BSN pales in comparison.
