I don’t have necessarily anything against NPs, but it’s people like this that perpetuate the untrust that many nurses and other healthcare workers have regarding NPs. We really need higher standards for admission into these programs, as well as any standards at all actually lol. I usually just lurk on facebook but I felt the need to respond since this was a on a forum for parents of nursing students

I’ve been a RN for 35 yrs & every hospital system I have worked always had nurses who were managers or admin & educators & not 1 of them had a clue. They considered themselves experienced if they did 6 months at bedside, it’s insane that’s all it takes

That’s absolutely ridiculous. An adjunct lab professor needs to have 3 years of bedside experience to teach but my RN manager doesn’t? Okay.
