Should I be a nurse: I am going to scream!:banghead: How in the HE double hockey sticks are we supposed to know what is right for you?? I am sorry if I sound rude not my intent, but it just makes me wonder, do you have to have all your decisions made by another person if so you ARE going to have a hard time being a burse. I am a EMT and if I had to ask someone to do XYZ before I do what I know needs to be done, I would have a poor patient outcome. Sorry but this is getting old

If my patient has symptoms x, y, and z do I have to check all of their vitals, or can I just take their temp?:banghead: :eek:

Oh wow. I thought you were kidding around, but this is a real post!:smackingf

I did look at it closely, and that is what dismayed me. It also included fellow medical personel that are down in the trenches right beside a nurse. If someone is trying to tell you how to do your job, I can understand how that would be frustrating. Happens to RTs all the time but it someone is mearly participating in a group forum and may be able to give some insight or another point of view, I don't see the problem with that. In my former position, I worked WEO & we all mostly had only each other to turn to. Both RN & RT were crosstrained in some areas, so I ended up learning a lot of things that were actually not part of my college training. I would NEVER assume that because I have had to train in some aspects of nursing that I would ever truly know what a nurse goes through but I have had the pleasure of working with some wonderul nurses who have shared a lot. That's one of the reasons I decided on the career change. Several nurses encouraged me to do so because I had taken on so much that was considered "non RT". It's just very disheartning to come to inclusive sites like this & see this type of sentiment. So I guess if I were to read something from a nurse & I should happen to have dealt with that issue successfully in the past, I won't comment or I will strictly stay in areas of this board that would welcome me. Not trying to start a RT/RN war so I will leave this alone after this. We will have to respectfully agree to disagree. Have a blessed day.

Well, I certainly wouldn't go to an RT site to put in my two cents on RT discussions, but that's just me.

Anyway, back to the fun we were having...

Dude, you're killing the fun of this thread. How would you like it if I told you that you didn't have a clue how to give a breathing treatment. We get that kind of crap all the time here. From carpenters. From pharmacists. From CNAs. From students. Don't get holier than thou on us and it won't be a problem. Don't kill our fun thread and it really won't be a problem.

What? You don't consider a carpenter's opinion on your nursing practice to be valid?

LOL. Seriously, we're trying to have a fun thread here. The next person who tries to ruin it will be cruising' for a bruisin'.

My patient from clinical this past week had a fever and the physician wrote an order for "more cowbell" is this a valid order?

Only if he's in Blue Oyster Cult! LOL

Steer clear of the Tambourine. Mr. Tambourine Man will try and try to get you hooked. You must resist the temptation.

Wiser words were never said, my man, at least that's what Bob Dylan used to say....:smokin:

I would suggest keeping metal spoons away from hardcore cowbell users. I have heard that in a time of crisis, that 2 metal spoons can be used as a replacement. Just a word of advice.:smokin:

Yeah, yeah. You both know that in the jingle-jangle morning you'll be following him.

But the one you really want to watch out for is Mr. Bojangles. If you sit in a dark bathroom, look into the mirror and say his name 3 times, you break out in chicken supremes and dirty rice.

(For those who don't know, "Bojangles" is a regional chicken place in the south that calls their chicken tenders chicken supremes).
