Guest guest Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 While watching news early this morning, I saw a & commercial supporting the contributions of nursing to society. Three scenes were depicted in the commercial showing a nurse providing care to patients while the narrator extolled the great commitment and contribution made by these dedicated individuals. All and all a tribute to the nursing profession. Scene one was of a nurse ventilating a patient with a BVM ...... IN THE BACK OF AN AMBULANCE! Scene two was of a nurse attending a motorcycle accident victim. With jump bag in hand, the nurse exits the car and treats the patient on the roadway with the debris and wrecked cycle in view ... Scene three finally showed the nurse in an emergency room setting, providing care to a patient. I guess this commercial " stepped on my toes " in suggesting nursing is responsible for the care delivered to the patient at scene, during transport and finally in the ED. How does this happen? Take a look at the strength of the nursing organizations and how they have garnered the support of this corporation in their effort to recruit, assist with and educate nurses. THEN do as I will do today, check the status of YOUR (EMS PERSONNEL) membership status with EMSAT, NAEMT, etc... . In some manner, we must take our individual strengths and bring them together for the better good of the EMS profession. Now, back to your regularly scheduled day. , Director Seminole EMS 302 S.
