On Feb. 2, during the New Hampshire House of Representatives' Education Committee debate about allowing New Hampshire schools to hire nurses with associate degrees, Rep. Linda Tanner (D-Georges Mills) testified that she was “very distressed by the bill."

Tanner went on to explain the source of her distress, stating, “I don’t know about you, but when I’m in the hospital and a nurse walks in the room, I don’t want just some ‘Jeannie Smith off the sidewalk’ that’s maybe taken two years at a community college with basic education.”

Rep Tanner really missed the mark here! Associate Degree nurses are everywhere, including me - 30 years of nursing in Post Anesthesia, ICU, Home Health, Med Surg, taking the best care of people that I can.
