ChristianKl comments on Why officers vs. enlisted?

[ChristianKl]

There is no single “master nurse” title.

Titles don’t have something directly to do with competency.

MD (though I expect there would be bits missing here and there, particularly theoretical biochemical knowledge)

I would guess that most MD forget most of their theoretical biochemical knowledge 10 years after finishing their studies.

That doesn’t mean such knowledge shouldn’t be required from MDs, including transitioning nurses. Or if it does, then MDs shouldn’t have to learn it in the first place.

If most of them are allowed to work without that knowledge it defacto isn’t required for working as a doctor.
