As for the nursing comment from a few pages back... from the time I spent in the hospital this year, I learned that being a Nurse is the complete opposite of an easy job. I always respected their profession before, but Nurses are on a whole new level of awesomeness for me now. Plus the shifts they have to work are horrible. I could never do it.

Yeah I spent a week in the hospital a few years ago and the nurses' compassion and empathy blew me away. They were amazing. Not to say I haven't had amazing teachers as well, but I'm not sure why the two professions are so often compared to each other as being similar.
