I hope he gets a nurse with a fake degree the next time they have to rush his fat ass to Walter Reed.
Minutes since a trump friend/sycophant said something incomprehensibly stupid: 0
Nor is architecture and engineering is up in the air.
I feel like this is related to H1B visas. The Trump admin wants to ban them and one barrier I think was most of our nurses for hospice etc are immigrants (I'm filipino, this is known), so banning H1Bs would impact nursing. This may be their way of banning H1Bs while keeping the nurses around. Unsure of how nursing relates to the H1B program, I'm a software engineer my experience with it is from coworkers having the visas.
I'm sure this affects student loans and education grants as well.
Its for RNs who want to become APRNs/NPs. "Professionals" meant things like doctor and lawyer, and required a grad program. It won't affect nursing as an associates (RN) or bachelor's (BSN).
That being said, Healthcare CEOs fucking LOVE them some APRNs, so this will get changed back within a year I'd bet.
Welp maybe this is his way of saying he doesn’t need a nurse
We know they are so who cares what those trash humans think?
The issue is that it affects things like student loan forgiveness, which often requires people to remain employed as a professional in their field of study for a certain period of time after receiving their degree.
Like trump is going to forgive a loan if someone is poor.
Sure let's cut back the amount of available nurses to an already struggling count of nurses why not. May as well just say "don't be a nurse, we don't value it." Getting the same treatment as teachers now it seems like.
If they make government work they can't keep lying about how it does not work.
Weel, they're never going to stop lying.
Knew it, glad I dumped my US license and saved some $$$
What does that even mean? You either have a student loan or you don’t.
biggest employer in many states btw, it's like they want the economy to crash
Step one: Get into power Step two: Crash the economy Step Three: buy up every on the cheap whike destroying welfare and anything you want rid of. Step four: Monopolies for the rich, corporoticracy for everyone else.
they do. they want to rule the ashes.
...Here we may reign secure, and in my choice
To reign is worth ambition though in hell:
Better to reign in hell, than serve in heaven.

It’s an attack on women. Nursing has historically been one of the only accepted paths for women to make a living wage. It’s an equivalent wage to the construction or police profession that is typically male dominated. I expect to see a lot of attacks on women’s ability to be self sufficient in the coming years. Subjugation and forced birth is the goal.
Probably has a lot to do with their decades-long assault on teaching, too.
Agreed. Teaching and nursing also usually lead to student debt unlike construction and police jobs
Haven't looked at what nurses made in 20 years, but why do I feel like I'm going to be sad when I find out they make the same as police.
Well you're welcome in Canada where you're still considered an essential service, which absolutely has "professional" all over it.

Next time he has to go to a clinic for a checkup all the nurses should be out of the office
That's fine. I'll ask my wife and her friends, a mix of NPs, PAs, and RNs, if they recognize the current administration as professional.
Answer will be no and they can kick rocks.
This is also clearly be design to cut peoples access to education as well as reduce the total number of healthcare workers. A double whammy.
