Hi...my thought on this, quickly, comes from reflection on the status of
nursing as a profession.  I don't know if the comparison is
true..however...I do see that having multiple pathways and levels of
certification has not helped nursing along...there are the 3 yr nurses, the
2 yr nurses, the 4 yr nurses..the masters level nurses..etc.
Professionalism must, in my opinion, have a standard, below which one cannot
call oneself that "thing."....

Reminds me of Bill Cosby's routine...Heh you, ..almost-a-doctor....he yells
at the guy wheeling the stretcher down the hall! : )
