I hate to tell you this but in reality while nurses don't have the extent of knowledge that a physician has they very quickly gain experience and common sense. Nursing school is extreamly intensive and difficult. A lot of people don't realize that while you are in the hospital or even just at Urgent Care many times it is the Nurse who notices something off in vital signs, heart rythms, or breathing patterns. Doctors spend on average 20 minutes with patients. Trust me I've seen it and I've been a patient. The nurse is generally the one that gets the questions, does the comforting, and calls the doctor when YOU need to be seen. They know a lot more than you think and most will tell you if they don't have the answer. It's really an underappreciated profession... believe me if you treat them with disrespect your experience will be a lot more difficult. Doctors are very intellegent people... but they NEED their nursing staff to be inquisitive, intelligent, and most of all observant... otherwise you could end up dead! I'm not being smart or silly or mean... just honest. Nurses know things... many of them have worked with great doctors that have helped teach them those things that nursing school skims over. They have more knowledge that the average lay person because they are exposed to that kind of environment every day. When was the last time you watched someone have a heart attack?

In defense of nurses, some give excellent advice in Yahoo Answers.

Because they have medical training and experience that has given them the knowledge to share with others.

I'd much rather see a registered nurse or nurse practitioner. They seem to know more than doctors. They are not plagued by that nasty "MD" ego that doctors have.
I would guess that the "nurses" that you mention are wannabes and not real ones.
A good nurse is worth his/her weight in gold.

You should always get another source from the info you have on this site anyway because most of it is nonsense.

They learned the same things as doctors, just not as well. But they think they know.
