Nurse-Practitioners work harder to get their certification than almost anybody who comments on HN and it is not OK to talk about them this way.

What an oddly personal reaction. Did you get bored of infosec or something?
Being HN, we're talking about systems and cohorts, not individuals. I've had some great individual NPs that were more actively engaged than most doctors. PAs as well. And I've had plenty of crappy MDs just phoning it in. But none of that is really relevant to the system meeting higher demand by simply lowering its standards rather than actually being reformed.
