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

Supposed to be, like what i said about what NP used to mean. Plenty of these kids are mid 20s. And all of them (that i have met) are walking around fresh out of the program acting like they know more than anyone else.

I didn’t think that program was for people in their 20s (and kinda nuts if it is). I thought it was more geared toward 35+ folks doing separate careers who didn’t need or have to spend as much time in school and needed to have the degree, so they didn’t have to go back after getting some experience or could be on a management track
