r/nursepractitioner rules
8 rules, in the community's own words.
- 1
No personal medical advice or posting of PHI.
- 2
No personal promotions, surveys, homework questions, or advertising.
- 3
No trolling or brigading from other subs.
While we welcome diverse opinions, certain other sub which specifically exist to hate on NPs often like to come here and troll. Users who engage in these subs are subject to instant and permanent ban.
- 4
No cross-posting from anti-NP subs.
- 5
No derailing or unnecessary debating, personal agendas - stay on topic.
1. To make this explicitly clear, this is a nursing sub for people who want to discuss the nursing field. Randomly telling people to pursue other fields is derailing unless OP is specifically asking about comparisons. I am surprised I need to post this but the amount of people who post just go to medical school hurr durr and then are upset their post is removed is baffling.
- 6
No throwaway accounts.
- 7
Be kind and professional. There is no reason for name-calling, sniping, or derogatory commentary.

Discussion around education reform

This is a popular topic and we invite discussion, however, this topic is so popular it has started clogging up the NP sub. Please redirect to the stickied thread to discuss. Please stop making new posts on this topic without mod approval. Thank you!

A note from Anthony
It is very clear that this community values professional discussion over self promotion. The rule “No personal promotions, surveys, homework questions, or advertising.” is a hard stop for any marketing efforts. I also noticed the moderators are very strict about keeping education reform discussions contained in a specific thread, which is a big thing to keep in mind.
