They're forgetting the fact that before you become NP you have to be an RN and also have at least a year of experience working as RN depending on the school. Nursing school alone require you to do more than 1000 clinical rotation hours. After that some RN will work for years before going for their NP program. Which means NPs doing less clinical hours than PAs make a lot a sense because they've already been exposed for years. They have an idea about every little thing in healthcare.
Students must complete a total of 400 to 500 clinical contact hours within the formal CNL program. Of these clinical contact hours, at least 300 to 400 must be an immersive experience in the CNL role over a 10 to 15-week time frame, involving a designated clinical preceptor and a faculty partner.
