A nurse would be just as effective for most ailments.

Nurse Practitioner? Sure.

Registered Nurse? No, they don't have the training for it. Some have picked up skills through practical experience, but that's an exception to the rule.

EDIT just want to clarify nurses don't have the training in diagnosis, similar to how doctors don't have much training in care.
