It's stuff that management hasn't ever caught onto - that somethings truly are priceless. Meaning? You can't always attach quantitative value (salary) to a qualitative factor (knowledge).<br /><br />Would you rather have a medic with 15 years of experience take care of you or your loved one or a green RN fresh outta school? I've never been a medic but I'd chose the former over the latter.Spook, RNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11085577662135429417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495327656501821802.post-42091511488405847942011-10-17T17:54:05.133-07:002011-10-17T17:54:05.133-07:00I worked in an ER where paramedic utilization drop...I worked in an ER where paramedic utilization dropped significantly because of the "blurred lines" between the hospital and pre-hospital environment. IV starts? gone! Critcal care drugs? gone! Getting patient from the lobby? gone! We were basically using them for transport.

Agree with you 100% that they can teach you things you don't normally do and that they are a very VALUABLE part of the healthcare team, and not just a transporter. I am so thankful that our medics can still assist with med administrations (minus antibiotics or insulin). Good luck at your staff meeting.NurseRickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18034101652094776790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495327656501821802.post-6026831932021221142011-10-15T16:43:19.135-07:002011-10-15T16:43:19.135-07:00I agree with you 100%, that's crap....where is...I agree with you 100%, that's crap....where is the regard for pt safety?

I thought it was part of their paramedic license that they were allowed to do these things. Is it some sort of hospital policy?Bikin, RNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04445263263834540302noreply@blogger.com
