I'v heard from a hopefully unreliable source, that U of M will require  nurses who want to become nurse practictioners,  to go through four years of medical school.  They will then get the title of doctor.  I'm wondering how true is this.

There is some discussion about NP requirements would be a PhD, not go to medical school

Think about it this way.......then the NP wouldn't be an NP but would be an MD.  I asked a few of my NP friends and they all laughed and none of us are anywhere near new grads.
