> US doctors are overpaid. US nurses are over paid.

Median pay for a Nurse Practitioner is $132K/yr [0]. I think that's reasonable.

Average pay for physicians ranges from $220-450K depending on specialty. [1]

Personally, I think doctors should be paid more than software engineers, so I think those numbers are all reasonable, especially when you consider what it takes just to enter the field. Nurses require a Master's degree. Physicians need a Bachelor's degree PLUS another 4 years of med school AND THEN a residency program that lasts 3-9 years depending on specialty before they finally earn their medical license.

IMO, the idea that nurses and doctors are overpaid is quite simply ludicrous.
