Yes, but only in the comments. That doesn't count. I'm saying it's never on the front page of HN because, duh, HN is a technology website. Why would HN care about nursing? Except as a strawman in the comments of course..

"in the comments" doesn't count??????!!!!!

I'd wager that most people who read Hacker News spend at least twice the amount of time reading the comments as they do reading the actual articles. The discussion is one of the primary reasons for the site to exist!

Often the comments section is way more informative than the actual article.
