Actually, she is a nurse. She’s just not licensed. I hate this particular provaccine trope. Andrew Wakefield is still a physician, just delicensed. Not having a license doesn’t change your being a nurse or doctor.
I've had this conversation a few times. Words matter. I went to school & graduated 2nd in my class as a CDA. I was a CDA, I am not currently a CDA. She has no reason, other than appealing to own authority, for wearing scrubs to the capital or calling herself Sandra RN on FB.
So don’t say she isn’t a nurse. That is lying. Say she’s unlicensed. She IS. A nurse, however. We shouldn’t lie about that.
I respect you a great deal Dr Gorski, so I won't defend myself being called a liar, with my usual flair. I disagree. She is not a nurse. She WAS a nurse. She can be a nurse again, but at this moment, if she practiced as a nurse, she would be a criminal.
Defend yourself all you like. She IS a nurse, just unlicensed. Words do matter, and you’re on the wrong side of this.
For instance, she could run a clinic or be in nursing administration without a license, as long as she doesn’t do direct patient care. That’s still nursing.
I realize that mine is not a popular opinion on this issue. I always piss people on “my side” off whenever I express it. I understand It’s very satisfying to claim that, for example, Wakefield is not a physician, for instance. That doesn’t make it right or correct.
And I will call this technique out whenever or wherever I see it. I don’t care who on “my side” is using it or how much I might admire them otherwise.
