You must have only read John's rather misleading snippage and not my original post, since I said nothing that you are disagreeing with. :-)

Oh, my, I agree with john garison. each industry demands a certain level of
understanding, whether it's learned on the job or in formal training
sessions, it still needs to be learned.
To that end, and to reiterate the nursing student's needs in terms of
documentation, I think i'd be very wary of a nursing student who looked at a
heart monitor and wondered what the flat line meant, or who asked the
question, "What does this button do?" I'd run.
