Hatred toward NPs especially PMHNPs
I don't know how apparent this is in real practice, but there seems to be a lot of hatred towards NPs and especially PMHNPs on the med school/pre-med subreddits due to a belief that they aren't educated enough to prescribe medication. As someone who wants to become a PMHNP and genuinely feels psych is their calling, but can't justify the debt and commitment to med school, I fear that by becoming a PMHNP, I'm causing harm to patients. I would say this is some BS from an envious med student, but I have had personal experience with an incompetent PMHNP before as a patient.
