Regressive. Divinity on the list, but not nursing and advance nursing degrees.
kace91•40m ago
chiropractors also have an origin in pseudoscience, they have sort of evolved into scientific studies in many ways but part of the quackery remains.

Chiropractic was taught to its inventor by a ghost
jeffbee•6m ago
So you're saying it belongs under divinity?

In what way are they anything but quacks?
kragen•16m ago
The professions are traditionally divinity, medicine, and law, so I don't see how you could remove divinity from the list. When you argue for including nursing as a "professional degree", what you're arguing is that it belongs to the category exemplified by those three instances.
shermantanktop•14m ago
yes, the 13th century POV is very important.
kragen•12m ago
Without the 13th-century POV in question, the distinction becomes meaningless.

Why? Can we not define what a professional degree is without the historical baggage?
RobRivera•3m ago
Is this sarcasm?
koakuma-chan•2m ago
What is divinity?
charcircuit•45m ago
Allow people to learn from ChatGPT instead of spending $$$$$$ on a degree. It being so expensive that you require government handouts is a self inflected problem.
searine•42m ago
I do not want some working on my body unlicensed and educated by chatgpt.
charcircuit•38m ago
I only mentioned degrees. Just because someone passed a class years ago, that doesn't mean they remember everything or are able to put that knowledge into practice.

Scaling licensing is much easier than scaling education via universities which means that price can be made cheap to avoid needing big loans.

ourmandave•6m ago
In my state you have to renew your nursing license every 2 years with continuing education.

Too many people in this community earnestly think this way, which makes this statement alone ineffective as parody. Try adding more of a flourish.
antinomicus•40m ago
This has to be a troll. I refuse to believe anyone thinks like this.
kace91•39m ago
I take it you haven’t experienced a LinkedIn feed?
xboxnolifes•29m ago
I've assumed all LinkedIn posts are advanced, in-group trolling.
gsf_emergency_6•26m ago
To be fair, this sentiment is tolerable with regards to graduate programs in divinity, which for some reason _is_ included..
hsuduebc2•32m ago
Yea, I would want very much to be treated on no existing illnesses on non existing organs.
supportengineer•45m ago
I heard they are getting rid of the Department of Education anyway.
softwaredoug•44m ago
Seems fairly regressive to health care costs for everyone.
bgm1975•20m ago
…so tracks for America.
stackskipton•41m ago
Just to note, this is probably American Medical Association lobby change since it impacts graduate nurse programs so not RNs but Physician Assistants/Nurse Practitioners and like.
gsf_emergency_6•35m ago
Graduate programs in some domains tend to be a relatively affordable way to insure against opportunity risks (nursing, not divinity)

The context is some interpretations of Baumol effect, as discussed here for the very parallel case of childcare

there's been nursing shortage for my whole life, what the hell is wrong with people? why can't we take care of each other
PLenz•10m ago
Because if there us a nursing shortage there is opportunity to 'supplement' existing nurses with AI and thus transfer more wealth to the very richest among us
jmclnx•8m ago
Anything to give the for profit medical and insurance industry an excuse to cut nurse's wages. So transparent.
pfannkuchen•2m ago
It seems like there has probably been a lot of scope creep in the nursing role due to the artificially induced doctor shortage. Wonder if the de jure/de facto gap there plays a role in this decision and how it’s perceived.
