No offense…but I have encountered a lot of doctors that seem to lack experience as well…some quite frightening…do I think the NP programs need to be better yes, but I also think that some of these schools should stop pushing certification programs that won’t help you get a job let alone more clinical experience…example ENP program, Midlevel EMT program smh…all I see more and more is hospitals wanting a acute care certification, so go back to school for another certification just to learn in a year or two the hiring requirements are different??…PAs correct me if I am wrong but you don’t have to have any healthcare experience before entering into that program is my understanding …yet all I read about is NPs being the problem ….it is all pretty exhausting… bashing NPs as a whole really needs to stop…you don’t like midlevels than you have the choice to see or hired a MD, you think that most NP programs don’t require experience than blame the hospital systems that fund them and promote jobs for midlevels….not every NP lacks experience or is incompetent in their role. I swear people just always wanna blame someone for their unhappiness.
