This is a good move by Wisconsin. There is an internal battle going on for the soul of nursing. Groups like the ANA (which seems more and more aligned with hospitals these days) are trying to push the academic nurse agenda vs those of us that feel at the end of the day its that one on one direct contact with our patients that make nursing what it is. While both are needed, the academic side want to dictate how and what bedside nurses do and practice when they cannot even perform the various tasks and procedures they claim to be "experts" on Nursing schools by and large are filled with those that can't so they teach and nurses are coming out of school with skill sets that are little to no help with today's nursing realities. It is time to retake the bedside and academic nursing should be subordinate and supportive of that and not try to teach a style of nursing that cannot cope with today's reality #nurse #nursing https://www.news8000.com/lifestyle/health/wisconsin-nursing-schools-could-get-more-flexibility-under-new-emergency-rule/article_94e7cfbc-245f-4b55-beb8-12abb3ac102a.html
