Nursing organizations are “deeply concerned” after the occupation has been “excluded” by definition as a “professional degree” by the Department of Education.
The decision is part of the sweeping cuts to student loans, overseen by Education Secretary Linda McMahon, laid out in President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.”
The move has alarmed nursing organizations, which warned that limiting student nurses’ access to funding “threatens the very foundation of patient care.”
Thank you first responders. Remember during covid when Trump fucked it all up, gave free money to his friends, and nurses worked so much god damned ouertime to save people? I do.
Fuck Trump.
My wife mentioned that Teachers are no longer listed as professionals either. They literally want or country to be as dumb as fucking rocks, slave our life away, and die horribly.
The Middle Ages are called “dark” for a reason.
Programs deemed “professional” by the department were medicine, pharmacy, law, dentistry, osteopathic medicine, optometry, podiatry, chiropractic, veterinary medicine, theology, and clinical psychology.
Nurses are no longer professionals, but these 2 are?
That the entire list of “prefessions”? Like chemistry, statistics, accounting aren’t professions neither?
Oh, the boomers are about to learn all about nurse to patient ratios and staffing turnover at nursing homes.
Lol, not they aren’t they are going to say that in their day they could pay their student loans and nurses should too.
They’re absolutely gonna learn because they’ll be sitting in their own shit and getting bed sores and uti’s and all sorts of awful preventable diseases and there will be Cuomo to the nth power death tolls as a result, although while they are having the direct experience their children will likely be the ones most capable of grasping the true scale of it, but they won’t be able to do anything about it because they’ll all be working poor, if they’re lucky cry enough to be working at all.
Look at that smug hag. She better be in prison soon
and dumpy. Don’t forget dumpy! He’d better be in prison soon too.
Does that mean that no one needs a license now? You’re a nurse-accountant-architect, I’m a nurse-accountant-architect, everyone is a nurse-accountant-architect. Suck it AIA
Don’t think that is what it is about, I think what it means is unless you come from a family who can afford to assist you financially when you are going to a good nursing school, you won’t be able to complete it using loans made available for a “non-prefessional” trade. Maybe I read that wrong but it sounds like if you need over 100k loans to finish nursing school (maybe some students start going for nursing and then probably proceed to doctorates I assume) basically making it so if you come from a poor background but get good grades and qualify academically, you will hit ceilings of where you can go to school based off income.
Hopefully someone can point out if I am misunderstanding that.
Edit: maybe it’s the iron dome Trump wanted, strengthening the glass ceiling to am iron dome that the poor can’t penetrate easily, and those above it can operate as “greaters” above the laws and above their true peers. Class war
I think you’re right. It will be those with financial resources that can enter the profession, which basically means that there will be even fewer nurses and the cost of healthcare will increase even further. It will be only available to the 1%.
