re: The Chosen Ones: Teachers, Nurses, or Civil Engineers

I have both nurses and teachers in my family and the nurses only bitch when the Doctors "get it wrong". They never bitch about money.
Teachers on the other hand bitch, gripe, complain and moan about everything to such a point that I think they get "institutionalized" to it. That's literally all they talk about. I think what gets me is one family member has over 20 years in, and when we ask them about retiring, they look at you like you are from Mars. So based on my experience, I would say teachers.

My wife is a nurse, she doesn't bitch about anything but stupid arse patients. The docs can be assholes and to be honest, they don't get paid enough for what they do in some cases.
Most nurses that bitch are in shite roles. My wife is an ICU nurse and does a hell of a lot more than the stereotype the OT portrays.

Nurses. Every nurse I know spends an inordinate amount of time patting themselves on the back.

Nurses: If you don't believe that nurses are more important than Doctors, then ask one. These are the "knows-it-all" individuals in our society. Nursing School is more difficult than Medical School according to them.
I have never heard any nurse say this and Ive been practicing for 20yrs.

The first time I heard the title "Nurse practitioner" I was on a jury( a fellow Jurist was one). I asked what a Nurse practitioner was and her reply "I am basically a doctor". I asked what type of doctor and she said " The kind that saves your life". I guess they teach that retort in nurse practitioner school. Haven't challenge one since.

I mean, she's not wrong. Are you aware of what it takes to become an NP?

She shouldn't have said that, but as far as her autonomy, and practice she's not completely wrong.
Hell in some states they do not need to work under a physician and are a true independent practitioner.

Less than what it took to become a doctor.

Easily the most ridiculed profession on the board. It's the one job that people are quick to put down because they consider teachers idiots that couldn't make it in the real world. These people bitch about the poor quality of teachers, but don't support paying these "baby sitters" more. I find that ironic because everyone recognizes that most industries will pay well to attract the best and brightest.

Yeah no nurse actually thinks nursing school is more difficult than med school.
Most became nurses because they knew no way in hell could they have gone through medical school.

Most NP's currently hold an equivalent of a masters degree in nursing. Specialization requires about 500 clinical hours in that specialty.
In contrast, MD's complete 4 years of med school after college which includes a heavy clinical workload in the third and fourth years. They then complete a residency at a minimum of 3 years. For specialties like anesthesiology, surgery, and ENT, residents can complete up to 10,000 to 15,000 clinical hours over the course of a 4-5 year residency.
So no, they are not "basically doctors".
