Don’t fuck with the nurses, bro.
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
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.
Nor is architecture and engineering is up in the air.
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.
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.
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.
Well you’re welcome in Canada where you’re still considered an essential service, which absolutely has “professional” all over it.
Hell, Canada NEEDS medical professionals
Yet, we elect right winger MAGA types who refuse to fund them.
I wouldn’t get to excited. It also needs have a have en effective way to validate the credentials of medical professionals. The current system is extremely inefficient and leaves great professionals out.
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.
My partner is a nurse here in the Northeast. Unfortunately a lot of her coworkers are Trumpies.
Most of them are practically disengaged from politics and only follow their (male) partner’s political beliefs. If they’re from one of the surrounding rural (white and low income) areas, the chances they’re like this are higher. Not shockingly, a fair amount of their partners are cops.
It’s strange and disheartening to hear about nurses she works with who flaunt that they won’t get the covid vaccine, who denigrate patients with substance abuse disorder, who verbalize that they would rather not treat a trans person, and who treat black and brown folks like a different species. But it’s definitely a trend in nursing culture up here.
Its especially difficult for my partner who chose this path in large part because of her acute sense of empathy. The state of healthcare is just bad here.

Also, some of them have scary levels of religious fanaticism.
slams buzzer ER nurse.
No no, see, they’re part of the demographic that’s predestined for success because this is their country, so it’ll all work out for them, no matter how many things this administration does to strip them of their title, success, income, benefits, rights, and dignity.
It’s also targeting fields that are usually a majority of women on top of the access.
There are also a huge number of minorities and immigrants, especially if you’re including CNAs.
Nurse Practitioners, Pennsylvanias, and Registered Nurses? 🤔
No Pants, Partially Attired, and Rarely Nude
So basically most female Wimbledon contestants?
And males, if I’m reading the rules right. Yumminess everywhere. I wonder if any of those players get kinky with rackets… probably not, but it’s a fun little thing to imagine.
Depends on whether or not you consider shorts to be pants. Personally, I do 🤷
I assume they mean physicians assistant
And RN usually means “registered nurse”.
Fellas, is it good when I stop funding nursing education in the middle of a nurse shortage
They want us to die. Nothing they’ve demonstrated has shown anything but a deep, willful satisfaction in making American citizens suffer and a desire to kill off anyone who isn’t a member of the administration.
I hope you dipshit Lemmy leftist kids are prepared to actually work to vote people out in the coming midterms and following 2028 election, and not get lost down some third-party fantasy or hold tight for “the revolution” to start.
They want to reduce the needed learning so they can pay people less to do the same job but pass it off as some streamlining process to address shortages. They’re still going to charge the same for care but pay less to those who provide it.
Taking an actual problem and looking to address it from a capitalist view point so that line always goes up.
Likely it was done due to some promise from an AI robotics firm or something.
Is it good when i, a crumbling octogenarian vote away all the systems keeping me tethered to this mortal form?
Making nursing school less affordable will affect the number of nurses in like 4? 6? Years. You as an octogenarian may not expect to need care that far in the future
Just as good as deporting immigrant truckers during a ongoing trucker shortage. Big brains in the White House, clearly.
Next time he has to go to a clinic for a checkup all the nurses should be out of the office
