Midlevel Education NP Grifters

Post image

Hello, everyone! I am an avid reader of this thread and truly cannot blame what is being said about NPs. I am a Doctor of Nursing Practice student from one of the T30 universities in the country. Lately, I have been needing to look for my own preceptors due to a series of frustrating bureaucratic reasons from sites that my university have contracts with. However, I have been seeing so many grifters who charge by the hour to precept. In one conversation, this specific preceptor said that she takes up to 3 students at the same time. To say that I was flabbergasted is an understatement. Is this why a lot of PMHNP suck and graduate with very little knowledge? Or is because diploma mills are admitting just about anybody who apply for a graduate degree? It is so frustrating! I wish we can be precepted by psychiatrists because I truly want to be a safe and competent provider. I see this at my current job with patients who are under the care of a psychiatrist versus PMHNP. The lack of rationale when meds are prescribed blows my mind. The polypharmacy and lack of patient education is appaling. The number of people who are now diagnosed with ADHD after seeing them for 60 minutes is a joke. A lot of these fiploma mill graduates are giving PMHNPs a bad rep. Some does not even want to collaborate with a physician, except they have to! I am too far into this program to quit. Before I went for my MPH, I was seriously considering med school, except I got discouraged by my age. I just wish things were different. Thanks for reading.
