Re: in Seattle, a Nurse Practitioner

[Guest guest]

I don't know that you are not a nurse. However, most nurses

are so pleased to be in that honored profession that we tell people

that and don't say we aren't doctors as though that meant something

other than a brag.

Nurses (and other professionals) do a *lot* of the work that doctors

get credit for. I try and speak up for us when I can.

Remember that the research that is done and published with physicians

as the first author is generally collected and done by research

assistants, psychologists, nurses, and grad students of all kinds.

Whatever you are professionally, you are a delight to read and make a

wonderful contribution to the DS lists.
