Baker signed hundreds of orders for medically unnecessary cancer genetic tests… including ovarian and cervical cancer screenings ordered for male patients she never examined.


Baker is also the author of the children’s book series “Nola the Nurse” which aims to teach young children (primarily ages baby to 8 years) about advanced practice nursing, cultural diversity, and important social issues.

Key titles of the series include Nola The Nurse and Bax Join The Protest: An empowering story teaching kids about solidarity, love, peace, and how to stand up against hate.

Elements of kleptocratic culture evidently die hard.

Why were the reparations only $1.5 million?

None of this will be paid. 7 years means 7 years in the federal system.

How incredibly insensitive for them to do this to Dr. Baker, NP during Gay History Month and on Juneteenth Eve.

NPs are fine for a cut finger or a sinus infection.






Beyond that, see a real doctor.

Dr of nursing. If there was ever an oxymoron….

“Yes Dr Nurse thank you for letting me know I don’t have cervical cancer…”

NPs are also wildly successful at curing cervical cancer in men.
