1. For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

   nitenurse replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Sure am and have been for years; I started in a level 1 trauma center ER and went from there. And I'm not following the rest of your statement. I asked questions that were and still not have been...

   nitenurse replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   There is quite a bit missing from that broad critique. Are these new graduates? What is the population focus? Bloated with what? certifications? If a NP/AAP doesn't fit the bill as you claim, then why...

   1. Seeing them and treating them are two different things. They see them to refer them so I don't count that as an actionable item since nothing diagnostically significant was performed. The exception...

   Then why bother responding? Find your previous post and copy and paste if you feel that strongly about it otherwise read and keep going. . . . Which they absolutely do, however, when you look...

   No, I did not say that, imply that or anything close to it. I stated that minimum standards are set by nursing boards as demonstrated here: And the licensing boards determine what is easy...

   nitenurse replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Each credential has its own standards, however, the a lot of the posters here are pointing finger at the schools for setting the 500 minimum clinical hour and its not the school, its the board that...

   nitenurse replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Yes, I know. I just used this as example. I didn't have time to dig through the COA document to look for the specific guidance. The whole point of the mid-levels was so that the MDs can concentrate...

   nitenurse replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Perhaps but that is any specialty in any discipline. There are hospitals and LTCs that will hire new nurse grads, put them through their 'boot camp' and send them on their way. Are they poorly...

   Maybe but the scope of practice between the two are vastly different. Increasing the amount of hours and education defeats the purpose and point of a mid-level

    You could if you were just doing colonoscopies. A lot of posters want to point the finger at the schools, however, its the boards of nursing that set the standards. So, if the board says 200 hours are...

    nitenurse replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The average number of clinical hours for CRNAs are a bit lower (9300 sounds closer to anesthesiologist), however, they do depend on the school:...

    nitenurse replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Actually its not that number comes from the states' respective boards of nursing: you can more than the minimum but that would have no bearing on

    nitenurse replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'd say so. A lot of folks are comparing MD training to NP training and those two are apples and oranges. NP only has one population focus whereas MD is the spectrum. An MD will spend 160 hours on a...

    A lot of folks are saying that but not saying what better looks

    nitenurse replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yep, when you submit your paperwork to the board of nursing, your program and treatment population has to be in alignment. You can't do 500 hours in pediatrics and tell them you want to do adult...
