"She is not the first nurse to serve as surgeon general; Richard Carmona, who held the post from 2002 to 2006 under President George W. Bush was both a nurse and doctor."

In other words it no longer matters if the care provided is the best care, what matters is that the care is economical and profitable.
Is she just interim/acting SG or is he gonna try to nominate her for the position?
You can't really compare the two. A bachelor's degree is a prerequisite to obtaining a phd. However, nurse and physician are two entirely separate professional tracks.
