There are NP mills that will take you from high school, put you through an accelerated RN and prereqs and basically have you as an independent provider in just a few years out of high school (well, 4-5), that’s ridiculous.

- tptacek 1y agoNPs are supervised, as are doctors on rotation, so it's 7 years before clinical practice for a doctor.
- FireBeyond 1y agoPAs might love to hear about that, since they’ve been lobbying about supervision. Dozens (I gave up counting) of states have absolutely no supervision for NPs: https://www.aafp.org/family-physician/practice-and-career/managing-your-practice/team-based-care/legal-requirements.html https://www.aafp.org/family-physician/practice-and-career/ma... - they have full autonomy as providers.
