<p>Nurse practioner is more schooling after a BS - I want to say like at least 2 more years. </p>
<p>Getting a straight BS in Nursing (BSN) is only 4 years if you get into nursing school after two years of pre-nursing courses. Or if you don’t want to do 4 years, you can just go directly to a LPN/RN program (I forget which is which) and those should only be two years. Or you can spend like 6 months and become a Certified Nurses Assistant (CNA)…</p>
<p>The point is you don’t even have to get a Bachelors to be involved in medicine.</p>
