Leaving aside my "Spoiled Brat" attitude, as an out patient!..I recently had to endure diabolical treatment of my Father in 3 local hospitals as an In Patient who suffered from Parkinsons Disease....not only was the basic care he received disgusting...the level of understanding of his condition, and admisistration of medication was pathetic!..This was someone who served in the forces, paid into the system all his life.and quite frankly was treated like dog muck by the NHS!! And yes i'm actually complaining about basic nursing standards here..not just administration!
The NHS as we once knew it..does not exist anymore!
So you get down from your ruddy high horse and return to the real world!!

There are some wonderful, dedicated nurses, who work to the best of their ability, under sometimes very difficult working conditions.
On the other hand, as you say, some have opted for nursing as a career, through academia, and have as much passion, understanding, and empathy as Eva Braun.
I've experienced some, who work in mental health, who were really so disturbed it left you wondering who was the patient, and who was on the staff.
Another, a male nurse on a surgical ward at Blackburn, shouldn't really be allowed near any living animal, certainly not a sick human.
