NP residency/fellowship

Published

I am curious to see if there is any interest out there, particularly from the new grad NPs, for NP residencies, similar to ones offered for PAs.

I'm thinking of something that is a year long in specialties like EM or surgery where the NP is paid a small stipend and treated like a resident. Long hours and low pay, yes, but excellent opportunity to build confidence and marketability.

How can you say that with so many direct entry NP programs out there? NPs are being spewed out of schools at an alarming rate without the necessary nursing experience to back them. If I'm right, there are only a few schools in the PA world that do not require prior HCE. As a NP, I can definitely say that their training and educational model is better than ours. The NP profession SHOULD have residencies!

Ditto. 100% agree. We need residencies.

Except for cardiology, the mayo residencies are only for mayo students.
