I think we should take action and petition the credentialing bodies to remove the credentials of the FOR PROFIT schools, or atleast raise the the dang standard. Letters flooding in would surely get things going in the right direction. But then again ...

Is it not ironic to argue for more science courses when someone also states there is already insufficient time to learn what is already required? This is the exact reason why I support the terminal DNP. Take out some of the courses as you all suggest...

For anonymity if you really want to know just PM me. I am quite proud of my school but due to the size of enrolled students I could be inevitably giving away my name. Good luck in your program search.

On a personal note though I do support PAs getting a doctorate if they want to. This article was interesting to read and it will be even more interesting to see where things evolve to in the future.
In addition, this could work out for the best for all parties. If Phyiscian assistants can obtain independent practice through doctorate education the medical community wouldn't have much of an argument against us with our DNPs. I am all for independ...

Since I can't vote I'll state my opinion. I believe a NP should have two-four times on boards. The range is for extraneous variables do to life. If a NP fails on their fourth they must do some serious personal evaluation. Remediate and study for a ye...
How many times does the "allnurses" community think it is okay to retake the board exams prior to remediation? For instance what's everyone's opinion on having to take boards six or more times? Please vote in the poll! :)
