Guest guest Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 I would have no problem with a nurse working in the ambulance if s/he was also a paramedic, but I would have a BIG problem with a nurse who was not a paramedic. Primary street care is quite different from nursing care. Some of the best people I know are RN/Paramedics, but most of them fly. I don't currently know one who works a ground ambulance.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 I see some of the same old rivalry that seems to go on and on between nurses and paramedics. Yes we are at the forefront of prehospital and field care but as Rick said some of these nurses may also routinely provide care in the field. Yes it is our fault we are not seen so; instead of just " ambulance drivers " because the public does not know what we are capable of. Also think about this: how many nurses especially ER or other critical nurses startesd out just as we are, EMTs and Paramedics, I know several, some still work with us in the field to maintain their paramedic certs. I personally do not see myself becoming a nurse, I enjoy being a paramedic and I enjoy teaching, but I have worked right alongside some nurses that did not forget where they came from and some that even though they did not start out as EMT truly apprediate what w are capable of I have even had some NURSES tell me that they could not do what we do. I for one have a deep respect for nurses and what they do, I also have a deep respect for what we do as EMTs and paramedics. So what if the commercial was disturbing, like mentioned earlier, it was a recruiting tool for nursing. Do we have one for EMS? I haven't seen any. So if that commercial made you angry then get up off your " keister " and do something instead of sitting at the combuter comlaining about it!. Be it joining a professional organization or maybe looking into job fairs in our area, what about going to the schol career days, those too are good recruiting tools, health fairs, etc.. There is a lot that can be done locally to educate the public as to what we are capable of and the differences between nursesand paramedocs, without the rivalry, our ERs are even hiring paramedics to work as paramedics which keeps costs down and promotes the role of the paramedic in more than just out of hospital care. Think about it, what can you do in your area to promote the EMS system and paramedoicine? Anita NREMTP/LP. Take care and stay safe always.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Well said. We are responsible for the low standing that we have, and all the things you mention are things we should be doing. BTW, it will be time to renew your EMSAT membership soon, or if you haven't joined, to do so. Same with NAEMT.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Anita, I wrote the original post. No where in it do you hear me bash nurses. I bashed the fact that a corporations promotion of nursing showed 2 of three scenes that are more often where you will see EMS working. I too have worked alongside many fantastic nurses, most in the hospital setting and a few in the field setting. My Paramedic instructor was both nurse and paramedic and I learned much from her. There is no anger toward nursing from me. There is aggravation about that particular commercial. Has my world come to an end over it? Of course not! I just have a problem with the crappy commercial. As for my keister, the original poster, I drag it 80 miles one way to multiple RAC meetings each month. I have served on the Executive Board of SPEMS since the early 90s and the Executive Board of B-RAC since inception. I am an advanced coordinator, EMS Director, BLS/ACLS Instructor, peer reviewer for my Medical Director and very involved at the regional level. I speak at schools, civic organizations and just about anywhere else I am asked. I have been a Volunteer EMT and firefighter, paid field medic and a few things in between. My EMS career has spanned 37 years. So, the commercial upset me (and others), humor me if I get upset while J & J portrays the ambulance I work in and the scenes I respond to DAILY as a nurses regular work. After all, the skin wears thin after 37 years as an “Ambulance Driver” , Director Seminole EMS 302 S. Main Seminole, Texas 79360 FAX Cell Re: & commercial I see some of the same old rivalry that seems to go on and on between nurses and paramedics.
