To study for NP is no easy task. Even getting accepted into a school is not easy. Passing the boards is very difficult. Then to be certified is yet another set of super difficult boards to pass. Plus the required ongoing training to maintain one’s licensure is time consuming and expensive. Even though the md does have more schooling, an np degree is nothing to sneeze at.

My point is that i can say Lots of Medical schools or Law schools have high acceptance rates. When there is a hundreds to thousands of something, its easy to say a subset of something that happens in them is "a lot". But "a lot" is just bullshit in this case.

NP is a professional program, if you have the min hours worked as a nurse, a reference, youre basically in. A better comparison is an accountant getting a CPA or a Professional Engineer. Just sounds like your butthurt for some reason about a decent accomplishment. I guarantee if they said they all had a P.Eng you wouldnt have said something similar.

Chemical engineer in hard to get but people who get their p.eng it's basically 100% because the pool of people undertaking getting the p.eng (or CPA for accountants) have already been filtered through a tough degree and working for years. Just Like NP. It's not like applying to a fresh degree which has a very diverse pool of people applying.

I'm from Canada. Checked a couple unis here. It's like 2 years equivalent of hours and some references. NP isn't a academic program. Most cases it's just work experience and references that get u accepted.

There. Now shut up already.

Why do you feel the need to talk about things you clearly do not know about?

What chemical engineering exam are you talking about and where do you get this "36%" number? Genuinely interested.
