The news that nursing is no longer classified as a “professional degree” comes at a time when the world already depends on nurses in so many ways.
At Trusted Talent, we believe every nurse, from new grads to advanced practice providers, deserves full recognition and support. This change may impact access to advanced education and could create new financial barriers.
To all the nurses, travelers, and aspiring advanced practitioners we serve: your dedication and your care truly matter. We’re here to walk alongside you, provide opportunities and resources so you can keep growing, advancing and making a real difference.
Today, let’s listen, stand together and advocate for the value of nursing. Because the future of healthcare depends on it and so do you.
