| #5 And note - The body of medical knowledge that a registered nurse has today and the body of medical knowledge a doctor had in, say, 1920 or 1930. Duties [read also status/authority] executed by nurses today and those executed by doctors back then. Does this really make sense? |

| #3 EVERYWHERE has a huge shortage of nurses. You have to be smart, take hard classes in school, and then work hard at an often thankless job; the pay is not all that bad, but there are just too many easier careers for people with the ability and attitude nursing takes. |
