Jan 21, '11. In order to be a nurse practitioner, first you must go to nursing school to become a registered nurse. A bachelor's degree in nursing is required for you to go to graduate school where you learn how to be a nurse practitioner (NP). Some schools do offer bridge programs where you can have an associates degree in nursing and bridge to a master's degree in nursing.
Shoulder Stretch. The shoulder stretch loosens the deltoids, the most prominent shoulder muscles, along with the rhomboids and trapezius muscles of your upper back. Stand upright with your feet about hip-width apart. Cross your left arm over your chest so your fingers point away from your right shoulder.
Instructions. Loosen up your neck before you give yourself a neck massage, slowly stretching it forward, backward and side-to-side. Pour some massage oil into your hands and rub the oil between them to warm it (though you can give yourself a neck massage without it). Flatten your right hand and mold it to the back of your neck. Your fingers should be facing toward your left side and wrapped around that side of your neck.
