Online for profit NP programs are turning the NP profession into joke. There are no admission standards & make it seem like anyone can become an NP. The ANCC needs to make some changes & tighten up the standards or there is going to be an over saturation of NPs and no one is going to respect the profession. When I became a Psych NP I felt proud of my new profession. Now I get inundated with requests from Psych NP students who go to schools that sound sketchy. And pay is going down because employers are seeing all these applications from all of these lower level schools. Something needs to be done.
