hey i m also male nursse and m into this job for 9 years now. i like being a nurse.

thats great. had good laugh

I am RN and EMT as well.OP was really good one and the others poster were superb.I agree that EMT kid was wrong on his approach but you could have teached him then and there that basic is ABC. Whatever you did was great one but establizing the c-spine was also neccessary. But I would say that we work together as our main aim is the patient's well being. There is no questions of who is ranked higher. Now am a ER/ICU nurse

when you are asked to triage the patients

i m a RN working in icu adult who also works in ER on rotation basis.Likke many of the author suggested that first important is airway, if not maintained there is no use of what ever the management is as the brain dies within 3-4 minutes without the oxygen.in trauma mx, there is also the words "look,run,play" of which the Triage comes into play and the coding system.this is just my view and may be there r many mistakes and corrections from others are welcome. By going thru' this forum m learning many things which r not there in our hospital settings RN from BHUTAN
