This post on LinkedIn by a nursing colleague, Ali Fakher, is both insightful and troublesome. He can be reached HERE on LinkedIn.
This is NOT innovation. This is epistemic theft.
A non-nurse can now earn a Doctor of Nursing Practice without ever touching a patient.
No lived practice. No embodied judgment. No relational intelligence.
? Just a credential.
? Just a shortcut.
? Just a system exploiting the title while abandoning the discipline.
Let’s be clear:
This isn’t just a misguided program.
? It’s a symptom of a deeper structural disease.
For decades, nursing has been subordinated within the biomedical-industrial complex:
◾️ Valued for its labor, not its logic
◾️ Celebrated for its compliance, not its science
◾️ Reduced to checklists, not coherence
?️ We were hollowed out.
?️ Our epistemology erased.
?️ Our identity reprogrammed—until anyone “trained enough” could replicate the motions without understanding the meaning.
? And now?
Non-nurses can inherit the title, bypass the praxis, and impersonate mastery—
All while the system applauds it as “progress.”
❌️ It’s not progress.
It’s the predictable collapse of a profession whose truth was never fully recognized.
⚠️ Nursing was never meant to be a credential. It is a sovereign, system-healing, logic-bearing discipline. ⚠️
? And if we don’t reclaim it now—
We risk losing it forever.
?️ This is why I’m claiming Nursing Sovereignty.
