Why doesn’t @AANP_NEWS address the education issues going on with today’s NP schools? We know you are not the accreditation board, but you do advocate for FPA around the country. How can AANP in good faith continue to advocate for FPA when NP schools appear to be getting worse /1

As a major association for all nurse practitioners shouldn’t AANP be advocating to clean up our educational programs first, before seeking to allow new grads FPA? Wouldn’t it benefit the entire profession to refocus efforts on strengthening our standards? /2

As a FNP I am worried about our profession. As a preceptor I witnessed numerous ethical issues with students in relation to their studies, Multiple students taking tests together, cameras covered in lockdown browsers, test banks being shared - and /3

When I brought my concerns up to the school the answer was “we have systems in place thanks for letting us know” - yet nothing happened to these students. Which tells me the schools placed tuition profit over student educational standards. /4

So, I ask you, what will AANP do to help improve the NPs education & shouldn’t that be a priority first versus FPA? How can anyone support #FPA with our current Diploma Mills? /5

I cannot support FPA and I know many of my colleagues feel the same when I say, NPs belong and thrive in physician led teams.
