I'd agree but I have to mention the importance of continuing education; sure veteran nurses have lots of experience but things change throughout the years and we have to keep up with them through seminars and what not. Also, nurses could focus on exalting their own profession rather than depending solely on doctors, they have their own job and they're not there just to follow orders. Why would they want to have the MD title if they can be just as good as the doctors, but in a different profession? I study nursing myself, I have professors who are nurses and they do everything from stoma care to inserting central venous catheters to psychotherapy. Currently there is a movement within us to make us able to prescribe certain meds (which already happens in various countries but not in mine yet).
Being a doctor and a nurse are still different, though, and as the years go by and nurses start learning to do the job that the MDs are supposed to be doing but for less money of course, the MDs will focus on something else and make progress in something even more specialized.
