just another burning question......

:p

just wondering if some of you other er nurses wondered this as well. why is it that no one ever considers er nursing critical care? even on this bb we are only under specialty nursing. burn and transporting nursing is considered critical care but we are not.

what's up with that? i have taken care of lines, drips, vents and ventriculostomys. and some of them were boarders so they were mine all night!

any thoughts? :cool:

street nurse. i like it!

we ARE the first line!!!!!!!!!!

that's better than a critical care namesake. and i love mc donalds and carnivals too. i wouldn't trade it!

i have worked and floated to the icu (yes, this means i have worked with a lines, vents and swans) no offence but i'd rather be sailing. i found them to have no sense of humor and a bit condicending. no offence intended to any icu nurse who can truley say that they are not like that.

I personally would rather be a "street nurse" or "carnie" over a tighta$$ anyday of the week!!

I have a lot of friends in "critical care" and usually get what I need because of that (i.e. a bed!!) but I sometimes I think-man...I should've sold used cars with the slop I'm laying down!!

Ah well...how boring life would be if all we had to do to get a bed was...ask for it!! hahahahaha
