> Then why require long time in school and residency for doctors? A boot camp should be enough.
Someone else answered the question: Nurses do not require a long time. In some (mnany?) states you can become a nurse with a 2 year associate's degree, and career outcome/pay is correlated with experience, not the degree.
And nurses aren't even at the end of the spectrum. You have LPNs, etc.
But the reason I commented: This notion that it takes so many years of school + residency is mostly a US/Canada thing. In many/most countries, you go to medical school right after high school - it is typically a 5 year program.
