1. Quit being an NP

   Ree01 replied to meraki86's topic in Career Support

   I applaud you for your honesty. RN's are going to NP school in droves thinking they won the jackpot as an NP. It's horrible. I went back and got my PMHNP in 2020 after being in medical. Geez I was burnt out from being soo overworked in medical and th...

2. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

   Ree01 replied to guest416560's topic in NP

   I feel as if I am the one that contributed to the whole "negativity " thread here. Therefore my response today. It is sad that as educated responsible professionals, we are not able to experience the reality of other professionals. Each person has hi...

   I do believe you but your situation is as a previous writer notes the " exception " not the norm. Your situation is how things should be not exactly how they are the majority of the time. I have been an NP now for 20 years. I work in a major acute ho...

   I do want to provide a few more awakenings and truth to the reality that you have described in your post. In the last two decades there has been a rapid shift in the way that NPs are used in healthcare. Previously NPs were used to serve the underserv...

   I wanted to add one more comment to this thread. Yesterday I was have lunch in the doctors lounge with a Wound Care/ Othopedic surgeon who has practiced for greater than 25 years. He has had a Physician Assistant for last 8 years. He was ranting abou...

7. Online vs Traditional NP school

   Ree01 replied to Retired APRN's topic in NP Students

   I have been a young NP for 21 years now and the number of incompetent RNs graduating with online NP degrees over the last three years is alarming. What s the board and government doing to regulate standards of NP training?

   I totally agree and I think there is a shortage of quality preceptors. It may not even be the schools fault. Preceptorship May be the leading problem now in this age of online training- all schools both online and in class need to improve on clinical...

   I am sorry if I offended you or any other NP. That was not my intention.

10. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    Ree01 replied to guest416560's topic in NP

    Please note that my intentions are not to discourage future RNs from pursuing a NP program or their career goals; neither is it to emphasize how incompetent new NPs are in comparison to Med students or residents. I really wrote this to caution prospe...

    Ree01 replied to guest416560's topic in NP

    I totally agree with you. Part of the problem is the huge availability of online NP programs. Nurses no more have to do GRE, attend classes, practicals , tutorials in order to become an NP. The standard is lowered now. all you need is a BSN, computer...
