Dawn Kamadulski O’Leary @katarzyna.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Nurses practice autonomously. We're not just "the doctor's helper." We're responsible for assessing patients, making our own clinical judgments and acting on them. 6/6 000
Dawn Kamadulski O’Leary @katarzyna.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Nursing takes its code of ethics very seriously. Developed by the American Nurses Association, the ethical code includes individual accountability, patient advocacy, and a commitment to health equity and social justice. 5/6 000
Dawn Kamadulski O’Leary @katarzyna.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Every registered nurse in the US is licensed. To practice anywhere, you have to take and pass the NCLEX, which is an adaptive exam that tests critical thinking and clinical judgment. 4/6 000
Dawn Kamadulski O’Leary @katarzyna.bsky.social · 06/10/2026To become an RN, you have to have a minimum of an associates' degree. You have to have courses in chemistry, microbiology, anatomy and physiology, socialogy and psychology. Most nurses go beyond that entry level and hold a bachelors degree (73%). 20% of nurses earn masters' degrees or higher. 3/ 6 010
Dawn Kamadulski O’Leary @katarzyna.bsky.social · 06/10/2026A profession is typically described as work that requires advanced education, continuing education, licensure, an ethical framework, and autonomous practice. Nursing meets all of those requirements. 2/6 000

Dawn Kamadulski O’Leary @katarzyna.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Creating hospital schedules is extremely labor intensive and requires many hours of labor by managers. If you mess it up, you’re making people exhausted and angry. People quit over this stuff. There’s always another job if you’re a nurse. 2/3 000
