    The state of APRN education

    matthewandrew replied to DrCOVID's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree. I think at minimum nurses need 1 year of direct patient care experience to even be considered in an NP Program. I hate seeing online NP schools, I think that’s ridiculous. NP programs need...

    I’m an FNP practicing in palliative care. I had the same question as you. I decided to start a post masters 9 month long PMHNP program for now. Then in the distant future, go get my DNP. I decided...

    PA practice authority

    matthewandrew posted a topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    With CRNAs recommending the DNP as the entry requirement for practice by 2025 and CNSs by 2030... when do you think state laws will require the DNP for APRN practice? Do you think this will happen...

    matthewandrew replied to matthewandrew's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You're right, I was browsing through the user's previous posts and it seems like they've been very critical about NP education, practice and existence. Some cynicism is healthy for the progression of...

    PA practice authority

    PA practice authority

    matthewandrew replied to matthewandrew's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    PA practice authority

    matthewandrew replied to matthewandrew's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree that NPs have more leverage than PAs with full practice Authority. It will be interesting to see where this goes. I really wish California increase its efforts with FPA. We're the only western...
