Former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” cast member Shamari Fears DeVoe says she’s working as a nurse extern while completing her Masters of Science (MSN) with a graduation date this summer.
But the dates don’t add up.
In a livestream video, Shamari is seen wearing blue scrubs at a hospital.
“I am going to my first day of orientation,” she says in the video. “I feel really great… Things are looking up. Got a job at a hospital as a nurse extern,” she said with a big smile.
“Not just starting a job, I’m building a legacy. First day of externship. Summer 2026 MSN on the way. #DeVoeTed #ShamariDeVoe #MSNLoading,” she wrote on Instagram.
In an Instagram post in January, the former Blaque singer who is married to Ronnie DeVoe, told her followers: “Grinding privately, glowing publicly. Nursing school in progress. Master’s in motion,” the caption read. “Countdown to graduation officially on.”
X/Twitter users called her out because she recently completed classes for her CNA certificate.
A registered nurse called Shamari out for stretching the truth.
X user Yogiflowz wrote: “Lmaoooooo. A masters in nursing is a 6-year degree. Not one you graduate from this summer and it’s February. Looooooool. I should know. I’m an OR nurse with a masters in nursing.
She can be a CNA by this summer though. That’s a 3-5 month certificate.”
Essence magazine noted Shamari didn’t know how to operate a blood pressure machine in CNA school.
“In another video posted on February 4th, the “Bring It All To Me” singer opened up about what she’s encountered during nursing school clinicals. She said that she’s attended CNA school and completed clinicals at a nursing home previously. An experience she had included not knowing how to operate the blood pressure machine while practicing with a patient, but figuring it out in the end.”
If Shamari recently completed clinicals at a nursing home as a CNA, how can she graduate with an MSN degree this summer?
