Disney owes our profession a public apology

Vermont
The Vermont Nurse Practitioners Association

Disney has a show called "Lab Rats." In it, a character fails out of medical school and is told by another character to "just become a nurse practitioner." This is demeaning on so many levels, the least of which insinuating that our profession is a lesser or "fall back" profession.

Disney owes our profession a public apology.

I just signed the petition "Lab Rats: Make amends for inaccurate and degrading comments about Nurse Practitioners" on Change.org.

It's important. Will you sign it too?
