Big Bad Bill Affects Nurses' Training

One of the most recent outrages that the recent "Big Bad Bill" has implemented is the delisting of "Professional Designations" for certain professions.

One of the most recent outrages that the recent "Big Bad Bill" has implemented is the delisting of "Professional Designations" for certain professions. You can see a listing in the Department of Education's website but it includes:

Nursing
Nurse Practitioners
Physician Assistants (PAs)
Audiology
Education
Speech/Language Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Work
Occupational Therapists
Physical Therapists

As a nurse with eight years of college and university education and countless hours of continuing education hours every year to remain current and at the top of my "Profession," I am insulted and appalled. I have been a nurse for over 40 years. I spent most of my career in Critical Care ICU, ER, and as an Administrative Nursing Supervisor.
