The next step is to become accredited by a national certifying body concordant with their specialty. Nurses who achieve a master's in science in Nebraska have four specialties from which to choose: Certified Nurse Midwife, Clinical Nurse Specialist, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, or Nurse Practitioner.

Due to Nebraska's participation in the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) statute, nurse practitioners who achieve licensure in a state outside Nebraska are able to receive Nebraska licensure without re-examination.
