As a tech in a USAF ER I can honestly say I get to do more with less. I am an EMT-B ( who does not claim to know every thing ). How ever since I am in the Air Force, I am authorized to start IVs, draw blood, insert caths, and so on and so forth. Also thanks to the USAF I am even PALS and ACLS certified. I don't know where these techs got their educations or way of speaking to people. That would not be tolerated. That is no way to speak to another part of your ER team. If your gonna work with some one for 12 plus hours then you should at least give them a proper amount of respect. I am working towards my nursing degree alittle at atime while on active duty. Any ways, before this post gets too long or preachy. Don't let any one tell you that you are "Just a nurse" or that your "Stupid". Nursing is a noble profession and at time not exactly the easiest thing to do. Just my 2 cents
