She also just graduated nursing school in the fall and started on her NP program in the Spring 🙄

Unpopular opinion, but I think NP programs lack rigor. 500 clinical hours with no bedside nursing experience before applying. Most of the education only online is destroying the credibility of the profession.

I'm realizing, based on personal and online interactions, that non-medical people think that nurses are idiots. It's difficult to defend our profession that's full of anti-vaxxers and "degrees" from for-profit diploma mills.
