Do you think that the higher standard is something that is actually needed?

For instance, it would be lovely if every nurse could do instant drug calcs without using a calculator.. but that's realistically not needed for the job. Is it like that - where the higher standard is nice, but not needed?

Because if that's the case then I think that it is the definition of sexism, being that these people are kept from this opportunity by the systemic discrimination if their gender.

If it isn't the case, and that standard of ability is necessary.. then wouldn't it be like telling someone who was functionally illiterate that they can't be a nurse?

(I've just noticed that my pillows smell like my best friend and now I feel vaguely annoyed that he isn't here to eat licorice and watch Doctor Horrible with me.)
