    Medics in the ER

    Most hospitals employ paramedics as emergency department techs. They are allowed to much more than a CNA, but work under the RNs. I don't know what the pay difference

    Becoming discouraged about becoming a nurse?

    Nursing isn't for everyone. It's hard and people outside of work don't seem to understand that. Also, you have so few people to vent to or cry on which is why you see so much of it here at...
