I worked in a Level one trauma center with paramedics 10 years ago and loved them They were truly a benefit. They were able to start IV, transport, etc. They even intubated occ when there was a difficult one. I valued them and would love to have them in the ED I currently work in. A lot of the nurses are sure they are going to take over. Well after 10 years there are still nurses in the ED I came from and still paramedics!!!!
