"...barely beat an RN. How do they do it and what was an RN doing hanging out with diggers?"

tsk, tsk, tsk!

A - some got into nursing because they want to help people.

B - RNs are people, too. They dig (and some even garden), they show dogs, they paint, they are acrobats, they arrange competitive wheelchair races, they skydive, they write, they shoot tin cans, they raise goats and orchids, they barrel race, etc, etc, etc.

And some of them smoke... THAT'S what surprises ME!
