In our last episode we discussed the rapid growth of nurse practitioner training programs and some of the challenges this has caused in ensuring that nurse practitioner graduates receive adequate clinical training to care for patients. Today we continue to explore concerns about nurse practitioner quality of education, as well as a new trend for nurse practitioners to seek work in cash-pay type practices, including opening medi-spas, infusion centers, medical marijuana clinics, and so on.

To help us explore these issues, we are joined again by Rayne Thoman, a registered nurse and former NP student who works to expose unethical nurse practitioner training and practice.
