Paramedic vs Nurse

This is just a bit of humour and is in no way representative of the struggle between paramedics and ED nurses.

--- A CONTINUATION OF THE BELOW ---  now, perhaps you would say -- or give specific situation or disease just to ruin this, so before you do such, let me tell you ego monster, that we nurses are trained and educated of what ,when, and how an intervention is to be given, so our intervention would of course vary. I'm very hopeful that this could make up your citicoline-lacked mind...

@saintlibra12 Blimey, its just a laugh!

NEVER WITHHOLD O2 from a <PT> that needs it!

@maagmotar2 Agreed!!! Have training/schooling as both... Medic are more like ER field doctors and nursing is a lot of hand holding

There are good nurses, lazy nurses, stupid nurses, and nurses who just dont care... On the same note there are good medics, lazy medics, stupid medics, and medics that just dont care!!! I think the tension is good for the work place, it gives us (the good ones) all something to joke about when we are bored without breaking HIPPA.

@saintlibra12 I'm a medic, and I agree with you. This is retarded.

Sparkie21, it is funny if only a tad one sided. Paramedics don't just save lives; they are the "big white taxi", shuttle for dr's appointments, and are explaining to "some" nurses that we went to school to DRIVE the ambulance...Laughed so hard at "asking for permission.." LOL :)))

@ruffzan - stlmedic is just showing you that SINCE 1998 the medical evidence has been available refuting the hypoxic drive myth, there are studies from 2000 and 2008 (off the top of my head) that also refute this "Kim, V; Benditt JO, Wise RA, Sharafkhaneh A (2008). "Oxygen therapy in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease". Proceedings of the American Thoracic Society" and "Lumb, AB (2000). Nunn's Applied Respiratory Physiology (5th ed.)."

@ruffzan - do some research and read the studies, never without oxygen from a patient that needs it...if the SpO2 is above 90%, sure, leave em be, if under 90% apply oxygen. If you throw a 15lpm non-rebreather on a COPD patient, yeah sure, you may knock out the hypoxic drive when you get their PaO2 up to like 300 mmHg...oxygen sat is only a good "indication", like licking your finger to see which way the wind is blowing, the PaO2 from an ABG would be best

[ruthven78]

@hazmatt39 NOOOOOO - dont repeat bad science, a COPD'er doesnt rely on the hypoxic drive, the hypoxic drive doesnt even really matter until their PaO2 is at about 70 mmHg - rsearch it and be smarter than your average nurse!
