You should have asked your friend "Full of yourself much?"
It's impossible that becoming a doctor could be literally 100x more difficult than becoming a nurse. There is not a single human being who could endure THAT much difference. If we are speaking of the intelligence required, that would be to say that if the average iq of a nurse is 1, then the average iq of a doctor is 100, which would mean that nurses are retarded. At best, I'd say maybe 5 or 6 times more difficult to become a doctor. Also, different specialites vary in difficulty.
Either way, just because she reverances herself for being a "md" doesn't mean that everyone else has to put her on a pedestal. That's why doctors are paid the BIG bucks, and probably why a lot of them develop the arrogance. Their pay is their reward.
And I must say that if people think doctors are all brilliant, they haven't been around too many doctors. I can think of a couple who are more than a little moronic.
YOU HIT IT ON THE NAIL! That's what I was thinking...there isn't a capacity for something that is LITERALLY 100x harder than nursing. That's why I thought of it like that. Maybe they learn 100 times more (I mean, MAYBE)..but 100x harder? I just do not associate length with difficulty--although I DO know their classes are challenging! ....so what are nursing classes...a piece of cake? LOL..that's what I wanted to tell the lady. But she said it herself...nursing is a piece of cake.. a "cakewalk"
I agree with the person who said that they got into nursing, not because it is "easier", but because they wanted to do and that the arrogant attitudes annoy people. YES--they are ALL completely different careers.
