I *am* keeping to the point, Villan, if you don't mind.

I read that article in the paper today and it incensed me!

"Nurses need to have a degree because they need to know as much if not more than the doctor in order to provide safe, quality patient care. They need to know what symptoms indicate and administered medications and such and for that you need education. "

Nurses have always known 'as much if not more than the doctor'....and to be honest, I'd feel safer in a nurse's hands than a doctor's, because all day long they are dealing with patients at ground level, having far more experience and expertise to deal with a thousand different problems.

To make nurses take degrees is an insult...and it is one more dangerous step to total control in an already deeply controlling society.

Florence Nightingale and Edith Cavell must be turning over in their graves!
