My mother was a well-respected RN during WW2 and post-war at St. Vincent's Hospital. I honor her professional designation and abhor what the government just tried to do - devalue nursing, devalue nurses, devalue the people we depend on for care, compassion and professional support during times of crisis as well as a bad cold. Who thought this up? Who demanded this come to the American table before Thanksgiving? Who? This kind of directive is ENOUGH. I will say it again, "STOP. ENOUGH!"
Thank you for this, Teri. That way our culture still has of denigrating professions traditionally associated with women -- including, as you point out here, teaching -- still manages to do great harm. And this is a lovely tribute to your mother as well.
Every extended family needs a nurse; the benefits are enormous having a health pro on the premises (or nearby) for prompt and accurate medical advice and referrals. Our family has had a nurse in the last two generations plus a third generation tht produced a family member who ran the administrative side of a clinic. Nurses know their science and can bring a doctor up short when necessary -- politely, of course.
Perhaps the legislators -- so many of whom have law degrees -- should look to themselves and their gatekeeper, the Florida Bar.
What is going on with Daniel Uhlfelder? Is it because he leans to the theatrical in his politics, or because he's an opponent of Ron DeSantis that the Bar has been harassing him? Maybe it's time for the profession to shop around for an accrediting body that can follow its own guidelines and not be politicized so easily.
There may be hope for the Florida Bar, however: Larry Klayman, a founding father of Judicial Watch, has been barred from practicing for two years. I won't rehearse the rationale of the Bar in this case, but Nurse Ratchett would not be amused.
