Occupation Nurse practitioner
Healthcare is a passion because I have been involved in healthcare since 1982. I was involved as a first responder. I became an RN and that lead me to become a nurse practitioner. I have seen healthcare going the wrong direction with decreased healthcare for all and our rural hospitals and clinics struggling. Education and farming are also near and dear to my heart.
There is a shortage of healthcare providers in our area. This is made harder by deciding that nursing is not a profession which decreases their ability to get loans. This results in nurses seeking to become nurse practitioners who cannot obtain loans that are crucial. I would have Missouri recognize nurses as professionals.
