I finally found an article where they talk about the Gallup Poll ranking the most "honest, trusted" professions. Nurses are now number 1 since they've been added to the survey. Just funny because I remember hearing how "pharmacists are the most trusted profession" constantly as a way to attract students. Number 2 isn't so bad I guess, but then druggists are lumped in with pharmacists too. :laugh:
