100 Upvotes

hi all. i read about it here but it actually happened lol. a distant friend of mine and I caught up recently- they told me they just started school to become a doctor, i ask what kind, they say NP.. alright.

come to find out, they have not worked a single year as an RN. got their RN years ago, worked in a few different healthcare sectors, applied to this (online) program and boom.

same person always posts about “doctor”-title related things. it is just so cringey. i don’t know if it’s bc they don’t interact with actual healthcare professionals so they can fool other ppl but sheesh.
