Why are RNs always so fucking fat? A friend of mine who is an MD and practices (I'm a PhD, I do not practice, I do research, when I work with patients I always have an MD present) once said, "Well they're incompetent and don't know their shit, otherwise they'd be doctors.  If you have the skill to fly an airplane, why would you train to be a stewardess?" I've met good nurses and don't want to bash them, but I think there is a lot of truth there for the fat ones.
