What are the best steps I'll need to take to become a Nurse Practitioner?
I'm working towards a diploma so would I move at a completely slower pace compared to others? Thank you for the advice.

Hello Joel,
Yes, if there is a way that you can get into a BS program (online or in person), you would progress faster. Often the time it takes to go through a diploma program vs a BS program ends up being about the same because of the pre-requisites the diploma programs require. If you get the diploma first, you will still have to get the BS before you get into an NP program which is a Masters degree. If it's possible for you to get into a BS program, you'll save time and money getting the BS first.
Hope that helps.
