I had to wear a cap in school but not a monster like these! The thing I had to wear hooked up enough lines and curtains like a pair of horns, thanks much.

No, it's not. The HIPAA wasn't enacted by the U.S. Congress until 1996, 65 years after this nurse was in training.

A nurse is surely different from a doctor! A doctor is more concerned in treating the disease of the body (or mind) while a nurse is more concerned on caring. To borrow a definiton from the American Nurses Association, Nursing is the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, communities, and populations.

Many years more of education for the doctor. They are much more knowledgable although there are some very smart nurses. But a nurses education stops way before the doctors.
