That’s ridiculous. RFKJr has done so much damage to US public health. He’s a complete moron whose only claim to fame is his name. He knows nothing about science. He only cares about having power and putting his anti-vax, anti-science views forward. Just another incredibly incompetent trump pick.

Don’t forget the cowardice of the republicans who are enabling and supporting him. Without them, he would be powerless.

Keep in mind there are some who cannot walk or bike due to physical health or age. No need to make driving miserable for them or those that drive them as that is there only option. I agree that walking and biking are wonderful for many and better for the environment.

A profession of mostly women targeted by the trump administration, no surprise. Graduate nursing degrees are required for nurse practitioners and nurse scientists, both of whom are in short supply and greatly needed to fill gaps in access and generate rigorous evidence to support high quality care.

Likely a mixture of both.

Plenty of hospitals encourage birth plans.

There aren’t enough physicians to care for all patients. Nurse practitioners, who require a graduate degree, help to fill that gap and offer high quality care. Not designating that as a professional degree, thus not getting enough funds for school loans, will have a negative effect on care access.

Idiots in congress who voted for the bill likely didn’t read it; the staffers who wrote it likely had no idea of consequences. Incompetence as usual.
Nursing is a professional degree. Nursing is a profession. Vast majority of hands on care in hospitals is given by nurses (who are professionals).

This guy is a grifter and liar. Shunned and mocked by peers. Even he can’t believe he got appointed to this powerful position. Just because he is a physician does not make him qualified to be in charge of CMS. One of Oprah’s biggest mistakes…promoting him and “Dr Phil” who did not deserve the boost.

Never liked that guy.

A petty little man who is propped up and supported by Republicans who know who is and what he has done and don’t care. They’re afraid if they cross him, they’ll lose their seat. If just a few of them would stop being cowards and do what’s best for the people they represent, trump would be neutered.

It’s fake. She’s just trying to get reelected. She’s done many terrible things and will likely do more in the future.

I let it sit for a few days and come back to it. That usually works. Sometimes I discuss with a colleague to get their thoughts.

I’m a journal editor and I am surprised at how many reviewers casually recommend authors redo their study “to improve” it. Granted there are studies that a fatally flawed, but I don’t send those out for review.

I can guarantee that without the medical librarians I would not have an MSN or a PhD or have been a textbook editor or funded researcher. They are so amazing. So very helpful to me over my entire career.
