I was literally just talking about a couple people I knew that aren’t very developed bedside nurses and still need time. Somehow this went viral and now I’m being subtweeted like crazy 🥴🤷♀️

Hear what you are saying but also consider that the way RNs were/are treated during Covid I might just consider sticking with academia for now too. 🤷♀️

@PdxDanean
But NPs aren’t “academia” they are treating and managing real people and need the skills and experience to do so

Even though I agree with you for my journey, the board allows that to happen, so who am I to judge someone else’s journey?
I’ve seen people thrive in roles I didn’t think they were prepared for.

I didn’t say everyone. Specially some nurses I know and work with who I’m like “yikes”

Honest question because my daughter is considering nursing... how long should she work to gain ample experience before considering NP or PA programs. I ask because other careers can jump right to next level so I’m not sure of the answer.

I feel like now at the 5 year mark I could pursue a higher level if I wanted and do so confidently. Does she have an idea what area she’d like to work in?

I know a girl who has like 1-2 years of postpartum, not even L&D experience, and she is in a midwife program. Oh and she is anti vax 😊

And this is why me & others have constantly pressured
@AANP_NEWS
,
@NONPF
and CCNE to require RN experience prior to admission. It is a healthy and necessary requirement for practice. People on the ground believe this to be true. It's the programs that don't care because of $$$.

I saw this a lot while in Surg ICU.
Very inexperienced nurses did this sometimes & I disliked.

Cannot do that in Australia. Must already have post graduate qualifications AND advanced practice experience before starting the degree, then 5000 hours advanced practice for endorsement.

Taking grad school classes (20yrs RN), have someone in one class who hasn't graduated from undergrad yet. I'm sorry, what?

i ended up supervising an RN who argued with me about having to get orders from a physician because she was “practically an NP anyway” [6 months from graduating her program]
she didn’t know what Lasix was

I thought most programs required a certain amount of floor nursing to be eligible to apply? Unless it’s just certain specialties?

By the time I graduate with my MSN I will have 8.5 years of bedside nursing experience and I constantly ask myself if I have enough experience. I cannot imagine going straight from my BSN to the NP program. 🤷🏼♀️
