[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a hospital physician of 20 years who works with both daily, I find that our PAs have a better knowledge foundation than NPs who go straight from Nursing school to their NP degrees. Too many programs(especially online programs) churning out unprepared NPs. That said, those NPs who started out as nurses and have several years of nursing under their belt before going to NP school are well prepared. Sadly, I see this route less and less each year. [/quote] Yes, this is the problem. NPs who went to solid programs and have experiences as nurses are great. Unfortunately, there are many that just got the online degree from a degree mill. They are, for the most part, not nearly as good as the traditional nurses. Frankly, many of them shouldn’t be allowed to practice. I don’t even know how those degree mills got accredited.[/quote]
