A nurse provides a nursing diagnosis and an opinion. A doctor offers aid, an official diagnosis, and physical treatment.

A nurse is NOT always a female and neither can work without the other.

What is the difference between NURSE and DOCTOR?

There's more difference than SALARY & EDUCATION.... I would NEVER say a nurse is a "doctor's assistant", that's silly. Doctors typically know WAY less about their patients than nurses do, as a nurse is there 24/7, & doctors typically do rounds once, maybe twice a day. It definitely depends on where you're talking about (a hospital floor, an O.R., a doctor's office, etc) Nurses are more hands-on than doctors, & do WAY more patient care.

Healer is basically the same as doctor; although some wizards consider it offensive to even compare a healer with a doctor! Obviously, the "healers" use magic for their task.
