There are 22 million healthcare workers in America. And I think we just realized how powerful we could become if we stopped letting ourselves stay divided. Something happened in DC this week that was bigger than politics, bigger than titles, and bigger than any one specialty. For the first time in a long time, I sat in rooms with nurses, techs, therapists, physicians, and healthcare workers across every part of medicine, and nobody cared what letters were behind our names. We were united by the same reality: The healthcare system is failing both patients and the people trying to care for them. For years, healthcare workers have been separated into categories, hierarchies, societies, and specialties. But sitting together this week, it became impossible not to ask the question: Why have we been kept so separate? Because divided people are easier to silence and control. But there are 22 million of us. Twenty two million people who see what is happening inside hospitals, clinics, operating rooms, and patient rooms every single day. You can call me whatever you want, but I’m not showing up as “just” a doctor anymore. I’m showing up as a healthcare worker, proud to stand alongside my colleagues at every stage of healthcare. I’m done asking permission to advocate for patients and for the future of healthcare. We know these problems because we are the ones living them. And when healthcare workers unite instead of staying divided, we become something incredibly powerful. Thank you @wearfigs for bringing healthcare workers together in DC this week and helping spark conversations and advocacy that felt bigger than any one title or profession. This is how we change healthcare. Together.

The Department of Education failed to recognize nursing degrees as professional degrees. This move will harm the health care workforce and limit patient access to care. AANP is calling for action. Read more: bit.ly/aanp-ed26.

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 regulations.gov 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.
