Nailed it!! I am becoming ashamed of my profession. I am a 20+ year ACNP. The students are lacking in so many ways. The clinical instructors don’t ever come evaluate the student. The last clinical called me for a total of 30 seconds. Number of graduates do not correlate to quality.
You did a great job with this article. As a very experienced nurse and FNP student struggling with clinical site placements I can honestly say I agree with what you have to say here. Yes, yes and yes. My program is ccne certified and they are really not helping much despite what they say on paper. I question if any of these online programs should even be in existence. How did we get here? Great article. I enjoyed reading it thank you!
Absolutely loved this article. I feel strongly that NP education needs a complete overhaul, and have had similar thoughts to the needed restructuring that you’re voicing here. I feel very pessimistic that the governing bodies of NP education will make the changes necessary on a voluntary basis. Very worried that many bad outcomes will have to occur and that NPs will not be a trusted or respected profession before that occurs.
I wish it was true, but the literature shows a darth of evidence and there is no mechanism for switching specialties in place, there are some options, but no mechanism.
I also want to support this cause-we can share the article with others but I doubt that will initiate a change. AANP does not think this is a problem. Right now legislators don't seem to have an appetite for this, I think unless we connect with physicians to lobby on this cause together - it will just go nowhere and things can get worse. It would be better if the change was from within.
I think you may have overstated things in a few places. I feel that there is a mechanism for switching specialties. You must have gone through another certification process since you are both an FNP and an ENP it looks like. I could become double boarded too by going through a second certification for psych NP if I wanted. When I read your phrase "no evidence," I hold my breath because no one can ever have reviewed everything there is on a given topic. The only thing I know absolutely is that I know nothing absolutely.
Just to be fair he said "after a thorough literature review I found no evidence". That leaves room for other evidence to be out there but he just did not read it.

As an NP I agree. Is there anything I can do to help support this cause?

That is a valid thought
