Hi everybody,
I was wondering if you guys are able to ever turn off being a nurse, or if you are always in "Nurse Mode".
I went to a concert last weekend, POD and Linkin Park in case anybody was wondering. We had a good time, rocking out, out of the corner of my eye I see this girl go to the floor. Instinct just took over, threw my camera to my brother, ran over there, check on the girl, do an assessment (she is pretty drowsy, almost passed out, compination of exhaustion, overheating, dehydration and at least a contact high I would guess), start barking orders at people arround me "YOU, get me some water. YOU, fan her. YOU, find security, have them page EMS" She was allright, the event EMT's escorted her out. I stood back up, started rocking again, took pictures. Just routine, nothing exciting happened, nothing a nurse couldn't handle.
Anybody have experiences like that, when the nurse inside of you just takes over? It was kinda weird how routine it seemed, it was a little adrenaline rush, but nothing to panic about.
At a concert, people are passing out, no sweat, I'm a nurse, just routine for us, lol.
