@GeraldoRivera How would you like first responders to vote? You know, the ones working 12 or 24 hour shifts. Do they just stop fighting the fire for an hour or two to vote? What if it's your trauma in the ED? Should the medical personnel just ask you to hold on while they go vote? Do tell!

@ronrule So, I haven't used public safety or the library . I'd like a refund for that part of my taxes. Same idea. Equally ridiculous.

When healthcare feels overwhelming, look for one concrete thing you can do.

Right now, the Department of Education has opened a public comment period on a proposed rule that would remove nursing from the “professional degree” classification.

That sounds technical. It isn’t.

If this change goes through, nurses and advanced practice providers could lose access to certain federal loan programs that make advanced training financially possible. That affects who can afford to become a nurse practitioner. It affects who stays in the workforce. It affects access to care.

As a reconstructive microsurgeon, I cannot care for the volume of women I serve without the nurses and nurse practitioners on my team. They are not assistants. They are licensed, credentialed professionals practicing at the highest level of their training. They are the backbone of American healthcare.

If you care about access to safe, high quality care, this matters.

The public comment period is open and closes on March 2nd.

Here is how to leave a comment. It takes five minutes:

1. Go to https://t.co/hyJpnuZYJh
2. Type into search “reimagining and improving student education”
3. Click “Submit a Formal Comment”
4. Write a short statement. It can be simple. For example:
“I support recognizing nursing as a professional degree. Limiting access to federal loan programs will worsen workforce shortages and reduce access to care.”
5. Enter your information and click submit

You do not need to be a doctor or a nurse to comment. You just need to care.

Small actions matter. Words matter. Please take a few minutes to support recognizing nursing for what it is: a profession.

@ZebMic @tetheredtoed1 @MrZachG Doesn't matter what the 5th year is, it's still M additional year of loans to pay off. University of Kansas tried something similar years ago and had to quit because future educators were choosing other schools .

[Jill Robbins @JRobbins_Math]

@ZebMic @tetheredtoed1 @MrZachG Who will be paying for that 5th year? Why would anyone pick education if it takes 5 years to begin to earn money?

@matt_vanswol How are you going to work that out for people like nurses? It's not like a nurse can just leave the patients in the ER or ICU to take two hours off to vote

Outstanding thread

@leahfliter I can't explain it any better than this state rep. from Texas. The same arguments apply here in Kansas https://t.co/ubD5v3TR2d #ksleg #ksed

@jim_pillen Ummm .... clearly you haha a different definition of "late term" than the rest of the normal non right wing whackos. After this has passed, what is YOUR commitment to take care of those families? Maybe pay medical bills for those babies born with lethal anomalies?

[Jill Robbins @JRobbins_Math]

@jim_pillen So unfortunate for Nebraskans. Good thing I don't have to live there anymore!
