Doctors do more complicated things, but their patient contact in some places has been severely reduced,
because doctors are more expensive, not because youre betternurses can move onto prescribe and diagnose now, we don't just wipe bums, without a nurse patients would be screwed, they need nurses and doctors.
Again, its because you're cheaper. Yes the NHS needs you as well as doctors. Its a bit like construction, we need architects to design buildings and project managers to overlook the project but we also need laborers to actually do the basic work. so just like laborers without architects would be useless, nurses without doctors would be useless.
I don't want to do medicine, I want to be a nurse to look after people, there are plenty of nurses who have the brains to do it but choose not too,
yeah, you keep telling yourself that. Who would want to be a doctor's bitch when they could be the doctor? The degree itself is very difficult and a lot of people end up dropping out because the work is to hard ... we study work for 45 weeks of an academic year, lectures are usually from 9-5 and then we have to go out on placement and work shift hours
Difficulty is subjectiveTo get onto my degree I worked alongside my A-Levels in a hospital for 6 months, we don't just walk in, it's extremely competitive.
Not compared to other courses like medicine, dentistry, vet science, optometry, pharmacy. Nursing is the most applied for degree, however Medicine is more competitive as there are less places.
And because its better.
