So you gotta be a MD to be an administrator? I don't follow your logic here. Only MDs are smart enough to direct public health initiatives?
Hell, I've spent enough time in the ER both as a patient and not to know that nurses run the show, they just let doctors take the credit.
I've trained my fair share of ER residents during my time at a teaching hospital.

Wasn't her previous stop as deputy surgeon general? Would seem that she should be the most qualified of anyone.
and she has a PHD in nursing. She is fully qualified.

Problem is that nobody on the left can understand how a black female could not be a socialist/communist. That is the credential that she is lacking.

In before lefties say, you're not allowed to say team over country about us.
And honestly dfarr is right. My wife is a nurse. They spend 98% more time with a patient than a doctor.

As an African American and a democratic, I approve of Trump’s appointment. I believe she is fully qualified. Good job Trump.

And what are you credentials that qualifies you to make that judgement?
The ability to tell the difference between a PhD. and an MD.
So...no credentials. Good to know.

RE: Trump Appoints A Black Female Nurse Rear Admiral As Surgeon General...Libs Slam Her
I think most people here are missing the point. Most of the stories I have read (with one or two exceptions already noted here) haven't focused as much on Trent-Adams but rather on the fact that Murthy was being asked to resign by the Trump administration (which isn't unprecedented either, but the fact is that he didn't want to step down). Murthy was a controversial choice because of his stance on gun control and he barely was confirmed (51-43 vote 2 1/2 years ago - I wonder if anyone here was complaining the vote was so close?). Trent-Adams seems to be a reasonable choice although the removal of Murthy is yet another indication how conservative Trump's cabinet seems to be (although to be fair I know nothing about Trent-Adams' political views).

we need both....one to initially 'fix' the patient, and one to 'care' for the individual post-op....both are equally valued IMO...
however, w/o the doctors, the nurses would revert back to old wive's tales (which are sometimes true) and those majik elixir salesmen would still reign supreme...
like I always say, there's a reason it's called "practicing medicine"

Trump asked Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy, an Obama holdover, to step down. In his place, the president promoted Deputy Surgeon General Sylvia Trent-Adams as acting surgeon general.
Instead of applauding President Trump for elevating a black, female nurse to the post, leftists attacked Dr. Trent-Adams’ credentials, saying she’s “just a nurse.” Obviously, Trump’s promotion of a black woman doesn’t fit the liberal media narrative that he’s a “racist misogynist.”
The disses started with liberal media outlets like ABC News, which tepidly announced in a snide tweet: “Dr. Vivek Murthy — an Obama appointee — resigns as Surgeon General, replaced by deputy Sylvia Trent-Adams, a nurse.”
Actually, she’s a nurse with a Ph.D., so you can call her “Doctor.”
Similarly, the New York Times — the so-called bastion of social justice activism — bleated in a snobby headline: “Nurse Replaces Surgeon General After Obama Appointee Resigns.”
It’s not until the last paragraph that the New York Times mentions that Sylvia Trent-Adams has a Ph.D. and was a nurse officer in the Army who had served as deputy surgeon general.

So, she's like the bank security guard that really isn't a guard but someone who will let people know they need a surgeon? I can live with that too.
