"Standards for nurse practitioner program entry and training quality have declined, with 69% of all Family Nurse Practitioner students attending completely or mostly online training and 22% attending direct entry programs, which allow non-nurses to become nurse practitioners in as few as fifteen months. Despite having about 5% of the training of physicians, nurse practitioners are legally allowed to care for patients without physician supervision in half the states of the country and in all Veterans Administration facilities."
