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

Question

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?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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