Nurses who graduate from MSN programs that prepare Nurse Practitioners are licensed as Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) by the Delaware Board of Nursing.

Nursing licensure requirements for licensure include: licensure as an RN; a master's degree or a post-basic program certificate in a clinical nursing specialty with certification from a national certification body recognized by the Board.
