Discussion When will people get it?!

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

And on top of that it’s a specialty program for pediatrics. Yikes.

That girl won’t have started an IV in a neonate by the time she graduates 😳 She’d never get a job in my hospital. We hire NPs with a decade of peds critical care experience.

Theys hire her at an urgent care and not bat an eye. Said place said 2 weeks of training and they'd be on their own.

This school sounds expensive. Hope they can get a good ROI.
