What steps do I have to take to become a holistic nurse practitioner?

Question by Leelee on "Holistic":

What are the courses of study and degree's that I will need to obtain. Is acquiring an RN a step in the right direction? Are all states approved for holistic medicine?

You will need a Bachelor's degree (BSN or BS in Nursing). After graduation, you will take the NCLEX or nursing boards and when you pass you will have your RN license. I think it's good to have at least a year or two of nursing experience before going for your Master's (nurse practitioners have Master's degrees) but many go right into the MSN and some schools offer a dual degree BSN/MSN. You can find a list of programs at the American Holistic Nursing Assn (ahna.org). At least that's how it worked at my nursing school. Good luck!
