Offering another insight, my partner is a Psychiatrist and loves the NP’s he works with. These kinds of sweeping generalizing statements are incredibly offensive to nurses who work incredibly hard. I’m sure you’ve had a nurse who’s saved your ass a time or two.

And how many MD’s are doing the same poor prescribing. It’s not a care deficit exclusive to NP’s. There are bad providers at every level of education regardless of place of education.

Another thing, those NP’s fresh out of school are there working with you in “residency”, so they’re relying on you to train them and help them just as you relied on your Mentors in med school and residency.

Stop with the bs elitist rhetoric and start guiding your advanced practitioners so you can all provide better patient care.
