How many years does it take to become a nurse practitioner?

For example, I want to become a nurse practitioner in my 20's at least. I know it takes four years to become a registered nurse and Google wont give me a straight answer on my question/topic.

For nurses, when deciding on graduate school, have you second guessed your decision and what helped you solidify your choice?

Is it better to wait to obtain your DNP? Is it better to gain experience as an RN before becoming an NP?

Is it better to spend some time working as an RN after obtaining your BSN, or is getting your DNP right after ungrad just as good? Pros and cons to practical work as an RN vs finishing DNP earlier without that experience. #FALL22
