Absolutely right. but why does the profession fail to see this?

At its root is the inferiority complex nursing ‘leaders’ have with regard to doctors. Anything they can do to bridge the gap, they will do it.

The result of this measure will, in fact, be the opposite of their stated aim. It will make it harder for poorly educated people to become nurses (which there is nothing to say these people would not be excellent) and the profession will see menial jobs as even more below their status level.

“Dr Crippen has been banging on about this for years.”

Sadly, as usual, the MSM are asleep at the switch…

Worse than that, by insisting that nurses need degrees and are above wiping bottoms etc, it does degrade the status of that absolutely essential job.
