Guest guest Posted January 9, 1999 Report Share Posted January 9, 1999 Unless she/he is also a paramedic, with at least a year's street experience, I would be unhappy too.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 1999 Report Share Posted January 9, 1999 I have to make a comment on the question about the DON of a hospital running or being over the EMS. The hospital that is being talked about is Eastland Memorial Hospital in Eastland, Tx. It was my understanding that this service has a EMS Supervisor that is a Paramedic? Has this changed? When Eastland Hospital took over the EMS back in 1989, the service was placed under the DON at that time. She knew nothing about EMS and was not even a ECA let alone a EMT. The EMS crews did not like it then either. My guess again is that the new DON now knows nothing about EMS either. Now, if the DON was a EMT or medic with street experience that would be different, but none of the DONs at Eastland Hospital have never had ANY EMS experience. Plus, they treat the medic and other EMS personnel like they are nurses aides. They have not idea what medic can DO!!. They think that all we do is bring them into the hospital. Nursing and EMS are TWO different things. If any of you on here work for Eastland Hospital EMS, you know where I'm coming from. Been there, done that, and have the T-Shirt to prove it. Why is the hospital putting the service back under the DON? Thanks, Wayne ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 1999 Report Share Posted January 9, 1999 My first question would be - Does the DON have any EMS experience? If she/he does, then I see no problem. The person should be familiar with the operational aspect of an ambulance unit. If she/he does not, then the person should have an assistant who is (Paramedic Supervisor?) that can fill the gap to build the DON 's knowledge base.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 1999 Report Share Posted January 9, 1999 I have to agree, as I have also worked for Eastland Ems, but there was an Ems Director at the time and it surprises me that, that has changed. I also worked for County Ems, another hospital based service, which makes Eastland look real good in terms of the nurses thinking medics are nurses aides. I was asked to do everything from, give bed bathes and hand out ice after being called back in after being up and on the truck for 40 + hours. Was on an accident scene when a nurse called on the radio and wanted to know how long we would be, as she wouldn't have to administer the afternoon breathing treatments or do vitals. When the nurses didn't have time then the medics had better make time or be wrote up. Eastland was great compared to . Nurses without medic experience have no business trying to run a service or direct Ems personal on how to do to there job.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 1999 Report Share Posted January 9, 1999 It is obvious by the posting that this is a done deal regardless of how the medics feel about it. Knowing that, the best approach would be to educate the DON in EMS. Be polite, be tactful, and be diplomatic. Invite him/her for a couple of ride outs. Let the DON see first hand exactly what we do and what we are capable of! From there, perhaps a mandatory rotation of, say, 24hrs a month for all ER nurses could enhance your relationship. A rotation through the ER for all the medics would be useful as well. I know that I could stand to learn a thing or two in the ER. If all of this has been tried to no avail, or the DON is not open to suggestions, first I would question his/her supervisory capabilities, second I would say that you've got your hands full. Remember the best approach to ant potential problem is always positive AND proactive. my $.02 worth Mike Holmes EMT-P ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: [] Question Author: " Tommy " [sMTP:tjohnson26@...] at Headquarters Date: 1/9/99 8:04 AM What does everybody think of the idea of having a DON (Director of Nurses) running the ambulance?

Guest guest Posted January 9, 1999 Report Share Posted January 9, 1999 As i stated before, the DON has NO EMS experience. They medics are unhappy because they are doing the job of a nurses aid. We would work in the ER as you stated, and we too enjoyed it and I personally learned a tremendous amoumt about the medical field. As for her duties i am not completely sure what they are because this is a new idea in the hospital. But if the guys are doing the work of a nurses aid, I dont believe that she has EMS in mind.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 1999 Report Share Posted January 9, 1999 After reading the responses so far, it is clear that a lot more information is needed before answering your question. Does the DON have EMS experience? What are her duties? Do her duties require her to have EMS experience? Are the medics unhappy because of the new management, or are they unhappy about doing jobs they think are beneath them? EXACTLY what are they unhappy about? I worked for a hospital-based ambulance service in Slidell La. and it was wonderful. Our director was Dawn Orgeron, a nurse and a paramedic (she was Dr. McSwain's nurse before she came to SMH). We were a really busy service, but we still helped a lot in the ER. For myself, I took it as a compliment; I felt the doctors and nurses had confidence in our abilities and trusted us.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 1999 Report Share Posted January 9, 1999 I think it sucks. A nurse is not a paramedic or an EMT. We should have a DOP. (Director Of Paramedics).

Guest guest Posted January 9, 1999 Report Share Posted January 9, 1999 Good Point, . Who lets EMS personnel be over places in the hospital, such as surgery, physc., etc. That is the same as a DON being over EMS. Do we run an OR or a Physc unit? No. Why should they run EMS, especially with no EMS experience.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 1999 Report Share Posted January 9, 1999 Cheryl, In responce to your questions, the DON at Eastland Hospital has NO experience in EMS what so ever, nor are they certified nor are they required. Now, if they did have past street experience as an EMT or Paramedic what would be different, but none of them do. At one time the supervisor was an R.T., because they did not have a DON. At least the RT had been certified as an EMT at one time, but let it expire. The nurse at this hospital treat the EMS as if they are nurses aides and not EMS professionals. Eastland Hospital EMS has a high turn over rate, because of the way that they are treated. If you notice they have an ad in the Texas EMS Magazine everytime that it comes out, because of the high turn over rate. I'm sorry but, I don't think that EMS should have to be nurses aides. The hospital has aides, but why use them, when they can get EMS up during the night and have them do it for them. I have worked for one other hospital based service. The director there was an EMT-I and had many years of experience. They now have a EMT-P over the service. We as EMS did help out in the ER where we were comfortable and no one minded that. We might help turn a pt on the floor, but that was about it, because the CNAs done the rest. We also acted as phlebotomist for the lab and did lab draws. None of us had a problem with that. Most of the DONs that Eastland has had have been in nursing since nursing started and think that we as EMS professionals don't know how to do anything. All that we are capable of doing is bringing the pts to the hospital and that's it. If it seems that I am raging nurses, maybe I am. I was married to a paramedic/RN. She was a medic before she was an RN. I can say that she felt the same way. That is why she is a trauma nurse and not floor nurse. Most nurses are I'm sorry to say are " stupid " when it comes to EMS and what we can do. I'll probably get some hate mail for saying that, but if you turn the tables, EMS is " stupid " when it comes to nursing care. This is just my $0.02 an more Wayne----EMT-P [] Re: Question >After reading the responses so far, it is clear that a lot more information is >needed before answering your question.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 1999 Report Share Posted January 9, 1999 I'm surprised a nurse would want the job, after all, it would mean more work for them and we all know how pissed off they get when you bring them a patient.
