I certainly hope not, I wouldn't want to be....I like to be able to go home and forget about medicine if I want to. No call, no office hours, no staff to pay, I don't have to deal with the insurance crooks, woops, did I say that? Nor do I have to worry about Medicare, and their decreasing payment schedules, sorry guys, but even with the increased $$ and increased headaches, I prefer the smaller scale problems of nursing, thank you very much...

medicine = science.

Nurses use a wholistic biopsychosocial approach to create a therapeutic millieu for the client, family and significant others. We don't just treat the disease, we care for the client in all of their facets. Not that there aren't a helluva lot of good doctors out there but nurses care for the "whole" client.

All the best! :smokin:

so physicians practice a science, whereas nursing is an art?
