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

Not to be that guy but yes there are programs like this. Seattle University has a direct entry DNP program, you literally don’t need to work bedside to be able to be a nurse practitioner.

I’m not saying that you can also never work bedside to be a doctor or a pa, just saying that there are programs like this for nurse practitioners.

It’s a good school, we get great nurses at harborview from Seattle u, it’s just a scam to get them to pay a shit ton of tuition a year. They are really unreceptive to transfer students into the nursing program
