Minor off topic rant - Nurses are NOT a doctor's lackey or servant, but licensed professional in a DIFFERENT profession, with different requirements, and often as well educated as the doctors they work with. Grouping nurses with other largely female dominated jobs is part of the problem that the liberation should have been changing.
Sorry, I am married to an RN, and her education is equal to mine, she supervises a larger team of licensed professionals, has HUGE responsibililies, making literal life and death decisions day in and day out - and makes about 2/3s of what I do. And gets asked why she didn't become a doctor. Because she wanted to do NURSING, not DOCTORING.
Here endth the rant.
