This moment demands more than reflection—it demands action.
The devaluation of nursing as a “professional degree” is not merely an administrative oversight; it is a profound misrepresentation of who we are and the critical work we perform.
We cannot allow policymakers who have never walked the halls we walk, held the hands we hold, or carried the burdens we carry to define our worth.
Stand up. Speak out.
This is our moment to protect the profession we have earned.
