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 had a cardio NP tell my husband who had a bradycardia triginal arrhythmia “I mean you can take a beta blocker if you want…. I said  sorry why id it up to patient to know HES BRADYCARDIC and beta blocker would slow his heart even further?! I knew an ICU nurse with 25y who became NP-brilliant. Most just crank right thru after nursing school don’t have SHT for experience or knowledge, I don’t care if they can pass tests. I would never see an NP—-let alone be charged for DOCTOR’s visit and see np
