I agree with you. The ER is the most exciting place I have ever worked and you see everything. People outside of the medical field just would not believe the things we do and see. It is an exciting adventure everyday. I think everyone should have to work as a CNA in an ER for a while before they can try nursing school. It would make a better nurse out of them.

I have been a tech in an ER for 5 1/2 years, we work both with critical and non critical pts. The CNA's in our dept are called techs. At our hospital, CNA I is PCA, and CNA II is PCT. Our facility, allows us to do everything the nurse does except give medicine. We do probably 90% of the work, or pretty close. We work hard for the little money we get.

I have a question. I am a nursing student, I have been assigned to work on the "flowers" committee. We need to come up with a flower to pass out to all of us students to symbolize nursing. I need help. Please. Thank you.
