  15. Not smart enough to be a doctor?

    LuckyinKY replied to AprilRNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I hate the public perception that people become nurses because they aren't smart enough to be doctors. I could probably make it through medical school, but as a 30 year old mother of two children, it...
