Shouldn't people be picking a school based on education quality rather than time and money??

I see threads like this and all I can do is shake my head for the future of this profession.

When shopping for a car one doesn't buy a Mercedes if they can only afford a KIA. Both cars are reliable and will get the same gas mileage and reach 200, 000 miles plus. But if you can't afford a Mercedes what do you buy? It doesn't need to be said.

So for you to shake your head because people are taking about affordability. You sure your a nurse practitioner? Isn't that one of the reason your in Practice? To give your patients an alternative and cost-effective medical treatment instead of going to a DR?

Cost effective, GOOD medical treatment. One does not learn this going to a poorly prepared NP program, especially a for profit school.

Your sharing two different problems and their is no real correlation between the two. To analyze, I will break it down. You said. 1. Quote: "One does not learn this going to a poorly prepared NP Program" Everyone would agree with that. But that is not what this link is about. 2. Quote "especially a for profit school." Now this is the reason for my post. You are out of line and angry about something, but to tie this 2nd thought to poorly prepared NP schools, the "for profit schools" that is just wrong. They really offer the very best in education. How? For profit schools allows the market to decide and to choose what someone will pay. For profit school have the money to hire the very best in teachers, and if the teacher is not performing they are shown the door. If their creditdation and reputation is at risk, they are shown the door. They cannot afford a bad name and reputation with the students, or the crediting institution. It's the students and their money is what keeps the doors open.

Your nonprofit institutions and universities have tenured professor that's been there for 20 maybe longer years and where are they going? nowhere. Now they are prestigious and the cats meow as far as the name is concerned but their pass rate is nothing to brag about. Where they do better is with wealthy students going to these Ivy League nonprofit institutions and not having to work while in school and having the time to devote to studies in comparison to other students that have to worry about every dollar and about making a living while going to school and making ends meet. So if you have some negative feelings about this type of a link the best thing one could do is keep their thoughts to themselves and don't rant on others and the institutions they decide to go to.
