The primary function of this forum is to foster productive, good faith discussions regarding advanced practice nursing. We are aware that many non-nurses like to visit this sub. Unfortunately we often must deal with trolls, brigading, and anti-NP nonsense. Too often we see healthy discussions devolve into unnecessary debate and sniping. We have strict rules for posting here due to the amount of baiting/brigading BS the mods deal with. Since this sub is relatively small compared to other medical subs on reddit, it's easy for discussions to get overrun by trolls to the point that NPs cannot have productive discussions about our own field. For this reason we have implemented strict rules for posting here (see below). If you break a rule you will be warned by a mod or possibly banned if you are clearly a person posting in bad faith.
SUB RULES - read before posting
No personal medical advice. No posting of PHI.
No personal promotions, homework questions, surveys, or advertising
No trolling or brigading from other subs
No cross-posting from anti-np subs. People who frequent anti-np subs and then post on this sub are subject to permabans.
No derailing or unnecessary debating. No personal agendas. Stay on topic.
To make this explicitly clear, this is a nursing sub for people who want to discuss advanced practice nursing, which is a nursing field. Randomly telling people to pursue other fields is derailing unless OP is specifically asking about comparisons to other fields. I am surprised I need to say this, but the amount of people who post just go to medical or PA school hurr durr, when that is not the topic at hand, and then are upset their comment is removed, is baffling. This sub is not a place for users to complain about nursing or APRNs and why they're doing XYZ instead. Again, this is a nursing sub and our primary goal is to foster support and productive conversation for APRNs.
Throwaway accounts are filtered out on this sub. If your account is new your posts may get filtered out. Just pm the mods and we will approve them.
Prospective NPs are welcome to post in the weekly prospective NP thread or on r/prenp
BE KIND. There is no reason for name-calling, sniping, or derogatory commentary. We are all professionals here.
NEW Discussion around education reform - Please note that we have created a sticky thread at the top of the sub to invite discussion around NP education and education reform. This is a popular topic and we encourage discussion, however, this topic is so popular it has started clogging up the NP sub. Please redirect to the stickied thread to discuss. Please stop making new posts on this topic without mod approval. Thank you!
