TRAITOR: Get Out of Nursing!

[showbizrn]

What happened to Professional RNs networking and supporting each other?

A RN veteran of the NURSE-ON-THE-SET specialty continues to misinform other RNs who are interested in pursuing this work that the requirements are 2-years of Critical Care or Intensive Care Unit experience with ACLS certification.

Not only is the info wrong, DEAD WRONG, this RN has been misinforming RNs for the past 15-years in order to discourage them and cut-out the competition.

TRAITOR!

SHAME ON YOU!

GET OUT OF NURSING IF YOU CAN'T SUPPORT US!

LIGHTS! CAMERA! ONE ICU and CCU NURSE OFF-THE-SET!

FYI...No offense or disrespect to our RN specialists in Intensive/Critical Care BUT the requirements to work as a NURSE-ON-THE-SET (aka nurse that works behind the scenes of film/television production sets) are an RN License, first aid kit/skills, CPR certification, stethescope and a portable BP machine. THAT'S THE DEAL!

I worked with a nurse who was prn at the hospital and she would tell us about getting to know the actors and actresses and flying to different locations. If I was younger.........

Above post in response to this:

If she is the NURSE-ON-SET that tells all the stars to shock when a pt is asystole, she should be replaced.[/QUO

[webbiedebbie]

Someone made a comment about malpractice insurance earlier....I would be afraid that if something did happen to an actor or actress, I wouldn't want their lawyers coming after me!

[FireStarterRN, BSN, RN]

OK, thanks for informing us, now we know.

HEY!!!!.....I've seen Cardiologists running codes shock asystole...After you've done everything twice or thrice....It could just be fine v-fib without the telemetry gain turned up enough...you never know :)

If she is the NURSE-ON-SET that tells all the stars to shock when a pt is asystole, she should be replaced.

I could tell by what you wrote what you meant. It isn't only in show biz that you find traitors. I have experience with disloyalty throughout my career. Sometimes, I was cheated out of an opportunity and sometimes I was just an observer. It is very frustrating but in the end, if we are meant to do something we will eventually get the opportunity through persistent inquiry and hard work. You are a loyal person and I would be lucky to go to you for advice if I was interested in the biz. Be encouraged that you are on the "right" side and everyone you meet in the line of your work benefits.

P.S. Sounds like you are also called upon to do on site first aid and referrals for medical situations. Sounds very interesting!

I believe that she is referring to the nurse who attends to any injuries or illnesses that may occur to those working on camera or behind scenes. Sort of occupational nursing for showbusiness. Hence needing the equipment and insurance. I do remember that RN article, too. Very interesting the learn about but not for me so feel free to tell us more, Showbizrn
