November 29, 2025Still We Rise: What the DOE’s New Stance on Nursing Means for Our Profession — And Our Power”
In this episode, I dive deep into the Department of Education’s recent stance that excludes nursing from being categorized as a traditional “profession.” As a practitioner, educator, and advocate, she unpacks the historical, racial, and systemic undertones behind undermining a field built on science, compassion, and evidence-based expertise.
You’ll hear personal stories from my own journey — the first time I held a patient’s hand during their final breath, the doctoral degree earned while balancing life, family, and community work, the moment I taught a student how to advocate boldly for themselves — and how each memory proves, without question, that nursing is not only a profession, but a pillar of society.
This episode calls out the disrespect, but also calls UP the community. Listeners will explore what this stance means for nursing students, working nurses, and the future of healthcare equity — and why now is the time to stand louder, prouder, and more unified than ever.
Mantra: “My work is professional. My impact is undeniable. My voice shapes the future.”
Affirmations for Nurses Listening
1. I am part of a profession rooted in science, compassion, and power.2. I carry knowledge that saves lives and wisdom that heals spirits.3. No institution defines my worth — my practice does.4. I stand with millions of nurses who transform healthcare every day.5. I am educated. I am skilled. I am a professional
REFLECTION QUESTIONS FOR LISTENERS
What moment in your nursing journey made you say, “This is who I am — this is my calling”?
Does the DOE’s stance trigger frustration, sadness, motivation — or a mix? Why?
What can YOU do — big or small — to advocate for the legitimacy of nursing?
How can we support each other emotionally and professionally through devaluing moments?
What does “professional identity” mean to you?
