I see. Though as someone who has herself worked in the medical field (as a social worker) I would argue that nursing school most definately qualifies as a type of medical training. I was really thrown off by the thought that people in some places could get their nursing license with, as you phrased it, "no medical training"!

I didn't want anyone to think that I am a doctor of medicine. I have a great deal of respect for nurses, and I have seen experienced nurses make a diagnosis before a doctor of medicine, particularly in the field of mental health.

Just say you're a nurse and everyone understands the difference and wouldn't confuse an LPN/BSN with an MD.

Meanwhile, thanks for the education on RFK's voice. I'd certainly suspected something was up due to his physique, but didn't understand the impacts on people's voice as a result of such steroid use.

Exactly

To say nurses have "no medical training" is extremely, inexplicably misleading!
