Thanks, Claudia. We all need to speak and write to those who will impact these potential harmful changes.

Debi, as a credentialed non-clinician health advocate, I’ve witnessed exactly what you describe and am quite worried about the future of nursing. It gets worse. San Francisco’s local community college, City College of San Francisco, has cut back on what was already a skeleton nursing curriculum. Students have to wait a full calendar year before being able to enroll in some courses which are prerequisites to more advanced work. Let’s hope ACA stands up to the Supreme Court challenge.

Thanks for the support, Mary. I really feel something can be done to improve the situation. We need to get some people in the administration, and above them (those who really decide where the dollars flow) to stand up and listen to those who do the work.

Great artical. It shows how dedicated Debi is to improving the nursing profession. The artical re-surfaces the issues that nurses have had for many years, over 10 years? The problems have been largely ignored, and as she has stated, have only worsened and the quality of healthcare has declined.
