Ace I do agree with stargazer reguarding not all but a lot of nurses in the US. Seems nursing used to be for the caring kind and money was secondary. Funny when nursing didn't really care the salary being realistic. I floated from every floor in in a hospital even did one Christmas Eve in labor and Delivery with mag sulfate drip. What I've seen is the oldies but goodies delivery the best of care. Although not nursing anymore my favorite board is meds as I do increase my education for me. And this in turn gives me the ability to suggest to a neighbor or family member always remembering to tell them to ask their doc. Thing I don't especially like is that nursing assistants do the work of the RN now cathetherizations, pulling IV lines, filling feeding tubes adusting the flow rates. And it's amazing how some do blood pressures. I also do not like the automatic ones as they more often than not are not acurate. I real old fashined cuff and stesescope is best as you acturally hear the blood pressure. Ace I know you will be a wonderful doc. But what your friend the older doc says is true one I worked with used carbon monoxide and that was it. Also I love psych patients and talking with them how else will you know what is in their minds? Observation is important too but talking is the most important in my opinion. Well I guess your Christmas is over hope it was a good one and you'll be back to share.
