[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see how this is an issue. They are doing three years of school. Medical school is only two years and a residency. I have a really good NP, I have also had really bad ones as well as horrific doctors. I really don't have any doctors I'd consider great. Training is just part of it.[/quote] I'm a nurse. The issue is not NPs--it's the education most of them are getting nowadays. It used to be that NP schools would want nurses with experience and most NP schools were part of actual, decent schools. Tons of green nurses now are getting their education from online diploma mills. In the article, a former employee of a diploma mill sounded the alarms that a) the school was basically taking anyone with a pulse and b) the clinical hours for the program left much to be desired. That is not good for patients nor is it good long-term for the reputation of the nursing profession. [/quote]
