| Carol, misses the good old days when cars were cars (not 
| "vehicles") and nurses were nurses (not "clinicans" or 
| "healthcare workers")

[Lee]:
Ah--but there were Registered Nurses (RN), Practical Nurses (PN), Licenced
Practical Nurses (LPN), and I remember my neighbor way back over 25 years
ago was a Licensed Baby Nurse.  This was similar to a sort of Nanny, but her
job was to stay with mothers for close to a month after they had given birth
to help take the load off them.  then there are nurses with specialties and
some of them are almost equal to Physician Assistants, and they can
prescribe and treat to some extent.

So, clinician is, really, a good term as one never knows to what degree the
nurse has authority.

Smile,
