She works with 2 other nurses Susan and pam who are both ADNs but have more experience than Natalie, one day Susan says to her “I thought you had a master’s degree. Why don’t you know anything?” and Pam says to her “what did you learn at that university anyway?” Natalie discusses the issue with one of her professors.
