This is a very fascinating thread, so thanks to all that are posting. While it's great that many of you are nurses, its also an attractive occupation because of its high demand. But how much of that demand is driven by the process of becoming a nurse? Those pre-reqs sound downright nasty, and while the process should be selective, it seems strange that the industry faces a huge shortage but makes the process to get your degree onerous at best. I mean, 7 years to get an undergrad degree in nursing? What could be done differently? Making the nursing profession more attractive would go a long way to helping deal with shortages.

So are the shortages for nurses that I've read about because there aren't enough nurses, or not enough GP's out there to handle the usual mid level cases? It's something I should ask my father, as he's an orthopedic surgeon. Regardless, for anyone reading this thread, the title, in my mind, doesn't do nurses justice. When I volunteered in the ER in high school, I learned a tremendous amount about what happens, and nurses make that place go. While it may seem obvious, the treatment people received was from nurses, and whenever I meet a nurse, I thank them for everything they do. I come from a family of doctors, maybe I should re-evaluate what I'm doing with my life! In conclusion, thank you!
