Experiences Good/Bad

Hey I was wondering if any of you RN's have any stories regarding major experiences in the field and how you handled them. Like where is the patients life or your license. I mean where do you draw the line? Or even good experiences. Sorry for my odd question, but I was just wondering.

    Interesting question. Kinda vague, but interesting.

    Do you mean, have I, as a medical professional ever hesitated to provide necessary care for fear or putting my license in jeopardy? If so, the answer is "no".

    I've been the first responder in trauma cases such as MVA's and a cardiac arrest in the wilds. These situations occurred while I was not on durty as a medical professional. No hesitation to provide care took place. Prompt action was always the priority.

    In addition, I've always found other professional first responders, such as the police, aquiesced to my proclaimation of being an EMT or a nurse, and allowed me to intervene. They have either assited me and/or thanked me for my intervention.

    I hope that answers your question, BeachBedhead.

    Same as Davey. Someone needs help, I will provided what ever care I can within scope (that is, outside the hospital, I am an EMT-B, not an RN).
