OADN has responded in the media and through formal communications to the offensive comments made by New Hampshire State Representative Linda Tanner regarding associate degree nurses. OADN takes seriously our responsibility to correct any misstatements in the public record that do accurately reflect the excellent patient care that associate degree nurses deliver. Such comments can also be dangerous as they misinform the public on the qualifications and safety of the nurses who provide them care, a concern only heightened amidst the global pandemic.
