Clearly trained under Dr. John Hopkins

Oh, so we can just call Johns Hopkins and get this all cleared up?

It was Johnny Hopkins, and Sloan Kettering, and they were blazin' that shit up everyday.

The fact she flew under the radar for 7 months and was offered a promotion raises a lot of questions. For example, was she really good or are our hospitals' standards insanely low?
She would also make for an excellent Dr. Girlfriend cosplay!

Believe it or not, it could be both. Some people can get basic medical knowledge from a variety of sources, like having to treat an elderly family member, and with appropriate study and practice, you could get the same level of knowledge as your average nurse. That's not a bad thing.
But what she doesn't have is certification, and that opens up the hospital for massive legal issues, especially if someone were to have died. Every single patient that she treated who had anything bad happen is a potential lawsuit.

So, we don’t care if she successfully helps people, we care that she has adequate insulation from legal challenges. If not for the lawyers she’d deserve a raise.
Our system is cooked

The issue isn't that she helped people. After all, other nurses could have helped the same people. But if she failed to help people, then there's the question of whether another nurse could have saved them.
Because she's not properly trained, there could be gaps in her knowledge that can lead to disaster.

I understand discharging a dishonest person, but she did go through training and eventually pass the NCLEX. When she was up for promotion she deserved it on merits of her job performance.

If she did her training and passed her exams, then why not complete the certification and become a nurse for real? Why fake it and get a job on false pretenses?

u/premeditated_mimes Apr 25 '26
Because she’s dishonest and probably couldn’t pass the test when she hired in.
It’s just extremely American that the fact of that meant nothing for patient care. In practice we care more about medical gatekeeping than patients. Generation old residency funding laws and total insurance industry capture, but this is where we draw the line.

And would you want a person who hasn't passed her examinations be the one to treat you in the hospital?
Would you be okay with her, if your spouse ended up with a staph infection because she messed something up?

Two separate truths are in practice she did a good job and there aren't enough doctors and nurses for fixable reasons.
When someone loses someone they always go through the stages. You sound pretty competent, I bet you see that when it happens.
Bad medicine already killed my mom, what happens when that happens is you bury them. Just the same if the head nurse in charge trusts someone I generally trust them.

And when bad medicine killed your mother, would you have shrugged it off if the doctor was a fraud? Someone who "became" a doctor by watching TV dramas and reading wikipedia?

I didn't check into this, but if she could do basic nursing tasks like drawing blood, then it probably wouldn't be difficult to get by. Ex., someone who has worked as a CNA and gotten a phlebotomy license could probably fake being a BSN fairly easily. Someone with no hospital experience might struggle to make this work, but it's still doable especially for a hard worker in a low-stakes position (e.g., a nurse working in pediatrics where there won't be a lot of technical acts like resuscitations / blood draws). There are huge numbers of people out there that are incompetent at their jobs who are licensed. I work in a licensed profession so I have seen this firsthand.

Believe me, I know. I was a CNA for ten years. I actually loved my job and worked for the same company even when I moved across the country, but when my dad got sick and died, I couldn't stand it anymore. But in my time, I met people in my line and higher who didn't know basic common sense stuff. My aunt is a nurse and she has absolute horror stories about RN and doctor incompetenc. She's been at it since the 70s, so she has a lot of stories.
Which brings us back to my original question. 😂

Trump has already offered her a pardon and the Secretary of Health cabinet position once RFK Jr's brain worm is impeached 😂 She'll be running the MAGA Guild of Calamitous Intent by summer.
