    This is misgovernance in the extreme, but the following is not the best quote to support that point, emphasis mine:

    One nurse posted through the IVs By The Seas TikTok account, a clinic offering mobile IV hydration and aesthetic services in New Jersey: “10 years of schooling… $210k in student loan debt… 15 years of ER and Trauma experience which included preventing physicians from making error at 3 a.m. and now.… my degree isn’t considered a professional degree. Cool.”

    It’s cool that they have a nurse doing that, but hangover cures and spa treatments don’t seem like a great use for those ten years of schooling (now, the ER and trauma experience is obviously valuable). No shade to her, and I completely understand that an entire career working as an ER and trauma nurse would be demoralizing, but this is a perfect snippet for people who support rolling reimbursement back to quote to show that it’s not really needed.
