1) Depends on how fast you make it. I'm assuming you mean Phd. in nursing. Some as little as two years, some take ten years.

2) You have a masters degree when you become a NP. two years after your BSN

3) Why would you want to be a PA when you're an NP? NP's have far more autonomy than PA's and are generally more highly educated.
