I went to a brick and mortar school that was "highly reputable" and did not feel prepared after graduating. NP school did not prepare me to think like a provider or to work as one in my opinion. I felt like we should have been spitting work ups and SOAP notes out of our ears instead of cramming all the real important information in the last two semesters because so much of our ciriculum was spent on Research and Informatics bull.

I felt like a lot of my professor NPs didn't take their job seriously because it was a side gig since the school didn't pay a competative salary to incentivise good instructors. They literally read straight from PowerPoints that were composed by someone 3 years prior...

There's this weird thing with the school of nursing feels this strong need to define itself seperatly from medicine and quite frankly it's not helping us. Instead of admitting to a problem, we have this delusional rhetoric of being special and different.

Sorry, I kind of went on a tangent: Boards were fine. I studied and had no issues. I felt there were a lot of non-clinical questions which again, I don't think is really helpful to the profession and in the real world. But then again, NCLEX had a lot of questions that weren't really clinical either.
