If you didn’t have anything beneficial to say you could have just not commented. Or better yet you could have suggested a program instead of being so demeaning. 2 Likes

They were making their observations on the sorry state of NP education these days. And name-calling is never a good idea. Just because it is not what you wanted to hear does not invalidate the advice. 4 Likes
