[quote=Anonymous]I’ll be honest, I’m an NP who went to a “real” NP program (Hopkins) after 5 years as a full time floor RN at Hopkins. I now have 15 years of experience in my speciality (pediatrics). Even with my “real” training and 5 years of experience, I struggled in primary care for the first few years because I wasn’t experienced enough yet. Common little rash that I just didn’t happen to have come across before in real life? I had no clue. Bad asthma exacerbation? I was great, because I worked with that all the time as an RN. Luckily the doc I worked with was fantastic. I see new grad NPs now with less training and less experience than I had when i started as an NP, with less oversight, and it’s scary. [/quote]
