I have a family member who is an NP and her biggest complaint is 20 years ago, most NPs were RN who had 5+ years of RN experience then returned to school vs current Undergrad -> NP -> licensed cutting out that practical experience. You think NP would be better if licensing required certain amount of RN clinical time?

I have heard the same concern about undermining trust from some NPs who completed their training before this more expedited route was available.
