There has always been and always will be the double standard. The hospital administration allows physicians to act like spoiled children without any consequences.

I reported it to hospital administration and nothing happened.

You can't blame them. Most RN's don't even know the difference between a paramedic and an EMT. The only thing i ever get asked is " Are you ACLS ? " I just laugh and say yes.

Thank you for your input.

Hey guys, So I have been applying to a few open ED nursing positions with no luck and i wanted to get some feedback on my resume.

So i wanted to see what you guys think of my resume and see if there is anything i can improve on.
