Being and Becoming a Nurse Practitioner | How the Medical System Has Changed

Yes a B or higher. I am online at Purdue

@@gingerporter1473 so good to know! Thank you Ginger!

[@julie-bh1pj]

B or higher is standard for graduate school in general, not just nursing graduate program. C is considered a near-fail. I am not a wiz by any stretch, but I felt that NP school was much easier than the BSN program.

Thanks for sharing, Julie!

Maybe she should be the U.S. Surgeon General. We don’t seem to be having much luck with doctors lately.

[@Katherine_Ann]

@@ratflama8369 that's a great compliment right there!

[@johnanderson1245]

I’ve been on some sites where doctors talk about “professional encroachment”. But I don’t think that’s true at all, because in my area they seem to go out of their way to get APRN’s and DNP’s on board.

[@Katherine_Ann]

That's an interesting perspective - maybe jealously is playing a role?

[@johnanderson1245]

@@Katherine_Ann That was my guess too. Also, from what I’ve seen, doctors usually have more experience having had to complete their residencies, but nurses in advance practice usually have more experience in direct patient care, and that too can make a difference.
