Nurses certainly dont consider their job a glamour job.
I think the glamour comes in when a doctor becomes a specialist that
does not have to work very hard, or actually have contact with everyday
maladies in everyday people. Its much more fun to say you worked on
Manny's wrist, than I got an elderly woman to walk with no discomfort.

I think the age we treat people and prevention is very important like you do.
I dont want big money spent on people that would be my parent's ages while
youngsters go untreated.

From what I have seen, Nurses tend to care more, and can do most of the stuff we think we need to see a doctor for. These guys order tests that other people do. At least Dentists actually do something besides order tests. Nurse Practitioner is gunna probably try harder. I just think it was a mistake to encourage a portion of society to get rich off of people getting sick. That attracted the wrong people to the profession. What percentage would be doing it if it paid like a teacher? Not much. They are doing it because it's a prestige job. It's not such an overpaid job in some other countries.
