Last week, I read with interest Ray Gilmoreâs OpEd piece on state Rep. Linda Tannerâs comments at the Education Sub-Committee hearing on school nursesâ certification for the Department of Education.
I have had the pleasure to watch and listen to Ms. Tanner (D-Georges Mill) work for three years as we are both members of the Education Committee in the House of Representatives. She is one of the best in the House and represents both her district and the citizens of New Hampshire with integrity, commitment and truthfulness.
Unlike Mr. Gilmore, I do not hold an associateâs degree in nursing from the community college; however, my interest and commitment to the profession have been long in my background. My mom was an RN and worked as a private duty nurse, as well as a teacher, trainer, mentor and nurse in the VNA, and concluded her career as a staff nurse at the local municipal hospital.
No good deed goes unpunished. On Groundhog Day, during the hearing of House Bill 349, Rep. Linda Tanner, a former educator and longtime supporter of nursing, gave testimony in opposition to the bill because it would repeal the requirement for school.
