Currently a nursing student, hope I become an NP soon! I love the diversity that was shown in patient population :) as a Long Island City resident, the diversity was accurate!

NPs take care of the mundane or less critical cases and work with the Drs in assessing and treatment. She did right with the chest pain patient.

Can we talk about the fact that NPS has about 6% of the training of a primary care physician? How is that safe or sufficient?

I wouldnt let a nurse practitioner see my dog, theyre literally less educated than regular nurses

2023:

some new 22 year old just completes their bachelors in nursing in the spring, they then apply for an NP program later that fall. Due to degree mill programs they don’t have trouble getting in because its not competitive. They then complete a 2 year ~45 credit hour program ONLINE and become a healthcare provider (NP). Congratulations, your “healthcare provider” is a 24 year old nurse that took some extra classes online and got 500 hours of clinical rotation exposure at the sites of their choosing because their programs don’t have affiliations with sites.

Compare that to a physician; 4 years bachelors, taking the MCAT and passing the competitiveness of being accepted to medical school, 4 years medical school, where each semester is around 35 credit hours, 3-7 years of residency or specialty training, and an optional 1-2 years of fellowship or subspecialty training. In the end they have around 21, 000 hours of healthcare exposure.

NP education is a joke and the data proves they provide worse care for patients.
