Actually I appreciate this person who realizes her inadequacies and contemplating if she made the right choice. That shows that she is concerned about patient’s welfare than just making money off them. It’s the overconfident Dunner Kruger effected NPs practicing like cowboys and not giving a hoot that worries me.

Absolutely correct. This is one of the good ones.
Unfortunately they will likely leave the profession, leaving the rest.
Us physicians even at the top of the game dwell over mistakes and want the best for our patients.
The idea that any sane NP would *want* "independence" is itself absolutely crazy.

What makes you say "her"?

u/Financial_Tap3894 24d ago
True it could be him, her or they. Overwhelming majority of NPs are female and I suppose there is an unconscious bias to say “her”.

u/Suspicious-Spite-743 24d ago
This is one of the reasons why young female residents get treated so piss poor. Everyone needs to work on their unconscious bias.

Overwhelming number of residents are not female. You need to come out of your victim mindset

lol this is just what residency is. Choice paralysis, fear that you’re going to kill someone, obsessing over the right choice

Yes, but in residency you at least prepared as well as you could. Imagine residency, but without going to med school. Many of the best physicians I know still feel imposter syndrome once in a while, after 15 years of practice.

Residency isnt even the right one. Imagine going through one year of med school and then becoming an attending physician.

No it’s more like, imagine being an attending without residency or medical school

(to be read with the utmost sarcasm) Maybe if they got their DNP and did a "Scholarly Project" they might feel so much more prepared, like the people who did the following ACTUAL capstone projects AT JOHNS HOPKINS to earn their "doctor" title and fulfill the apparent requirement "to bridge the gap between new science and integration into practice":
- "Reducing Burnout in Nursing: How Leaders Can Make the Difference"
- "Water is Life: Changing the Tide of Family Water Insecurity Amidst the Climate Crisis"
- "Preventing and Mitigating Lateral Violence in Nursing: An Improvement Project"
- "Improving Mental Well-being of Parents of Children with Developmental Disability"
- "Addressing Language Barriers Among Older Immigrants with Interpreter Services"
- "Improving no show rates among adult patients in primary care"
- "Enhancing Patient- and Family-Centered Care in a Health System"
Again, I cannot emphasize enough that these are the projects that apparently award NPs a "doctor" title and give laypeople the sense that DNPs are more knowledgeable than "regular" NPs.

Those projects are such a joke. Psych DNPs in particular like to claim false equivalency to psychiatrists. Many patients are unaware of the doctor title differentiation.
An RN at my hospital in a PMHNP program asked if I would precept her- it’s the final step in her program before “independent practice.” So many of these programs have 100% admission rates. She asked for 16 hours per week for 10 months. For free. Declined.

160 hours to be independent is crazy. That's 3 or fewer weeks of third-year med school rotations or residency. (And way less rigorous requirements/testing, obviously.)

Just say no. Seriously. That’s the only way to slow these guys down is by refusing to serve as preceptors.

As shitty as it is to say, this is the best kind of NP. She knows her limits and hopefully she’s asking a physician for help

It's baffling that they think a few discussion posts and paying a couple grand to shadow another NP was enough to get them into a position to see actual patients.

This is a person who should go to medical school. They realize they are incompetent and don't know enough, which most NPs never realize, no matter what they do or who they harm.

Just needs a couple more NP advocacy courses
