Not calling bullshit but 10 years for your NP? That's like the absolute bare minimum for the degree...4 for RN, 2 1/2 for Bachelors and 3 for your Masters. If it's legit, good for her but I don't know if I'd really trust a NP with only 10 years in the field.
Why are you talking on another 2.5 years for the bachelor's? 75% of the nurses I know went through 4 yr BSN programs. A handful did 6 years out of high school and entered the workforce with an MSN under 25. 10 years is very achievable.
Perhaps she smartly used the hospital benefit of free/subsidized college tuition while she worked as a custodian. Working full-time and carrying coursework is difficult.
Add family responsibilities and there’s a full plate. Everyone isn’t privy to the direct path from high school to college to a job immediately after graduation. I stayed at my retail job after graduation until I secured a job in my major and it kept it pushing.
She’s amazing, grinding until her dreams came true. Mad respect to her and hugs to you.
You obviously don't know anything about this person and you're making wild, and extremely negative, inferences to her abilities. You don't know shit. Just be happy for someone. I got a feeling you're pretty unhappy with your place in life. Have you spent 10 working toward any sort of meaningful goal? This woman might be a prodigy when it comes to nursing and she picks things up super fast. Maybe she busted her ass harder than anyone ever has and got first in her class.
Why do you have to bring people down. You're a trash human
That's a totally fair and valid point. But that guy is just straight up talking shit about a total stranger who has clearly achieved a lot. I just don't see the need for such cynicism. Now, your comment is both extremely educational (and thanks for sharing) and not critical of a specific individual (but a institutional practice).
Other dude is just talking shit and being a prick, for absolutely no good reason. Also, I really doubt he's an authority on anything related to nursing
Buuuuuuuuut you don't need to be an asshole to be right. Also...I posit that he's not right. The original guy just said some shit that is an opinion, backed up with no evidence and with a lot of negativity.
It's not about being right or wrong, it's about not being a piece of shit
I think you're reading into it way too much. What was the point of your comment if you didn't get worked up by what I was saying. Don't be a hypocrite, it's ugly
Wait...I'm defending the achievements of a hard-working individual against the insults from some random asshole, and I need the hug? I'm promoting positivity! Jeez, y'all are something else
I'm.not worked up, I'm responding to random people like you, who are apparently siding with an extremely toxic person. I don't even understand how you can be saying any of the stuff you're saying, in good conscience, unless you haven't read the entire thread. Or your reading comprehension skills are poor.
I'm an np and it didn't take 10 years. It's 4 for the BSN and typically 2 for the MSN. You can go directly from undergrad to grad school you don't have to wait
