And how are you, as a one time nurse, more qualified to make that statement, than a qualified psychologist?
Believe me April,it has nothing to do with being qualified or not. There are some nurses who are more qualified in their field,than doctors. You ask any doctor. A doctor only specialises in one or two areas of the anatomy,whereas a nurse on a specific ward,say of a surgical nature,can also spot other problems which are medical too,such as a mental illness.The surgeon only carried out " his area " of expertise.
A psychiatrist/psychologist won't profess to know everything either,and they CAN get it wrong. A for instance is actually concerning the family. The child in question is coming up to 7 years of age,and for the past 4,we as a family have known that there was a problem with the child,as at 3 she was destructive,used to bite her siblings,run amok,etc etc,and don't mention taking her shopping !!
December last year,I accompanied the child to the hospital to see ANOTHER child psychiatrist and demanded that her behaviour wasn't normal,as had been said in the past of a 3 year old. To cut a long story short,the child's mother received the top rate disability living allowance for the child,who has got severe ADHD,even though she'd been attending a school which specialises in children who are behind in their work,the psychiatrists still hadn't seen a problem

The child is a loveable monster.
