  1. it's a waste of a life. no chance for creativity or original thought..

    you do what the docs tell you to do.. give that pill, take this BP, etc

    your just an over paid lackey.. congrats

    anybody can become an RN with half a brain :D

  2. Well, apparently you don't know many nurses.:)

    I would venture to say that I have considerably more freedom than most in coporate america. And better paid.:) :)

  3. And nurses aides take the bloodpressures, and give the baths, and almost anything else you think nurses do from watching too much TV.

  4. more freedom than 'corporate america' (whatever that is) to do what?

    (aren't hosiptals or doc PC's corporate america?)

    what decision do you make without ANY overseeing?

    how many patients have you seen and diagnosed w/o seeing the doc first

    take today for instance? or yesterday? or last week?

    how about in last month what have you done w/o checking first with a superior?

  5. I put a couple of relatives through nursing school ... best investment I ever made.

    Speaking of freedom ... from what I understand nurses just never get fired, because they are in such short supply. So they have duties, and they are accountable ... but doctors are so overworked they really give the nurses autonomy ... just my 2.

  7. I am never taking one of your posts seriously again. Math is not plug and chug as soon as you leave the basic calc framework. If you have a decent prof, you won't have it plug and chug in math either.

    I have an engineering undergrad degree and a grad degree in math. I know pain, sir. I can assure you that pain is not English class.

  9. Sorry I missed these posts. Let's see now. What decisions do I make.....I make the decision on if the docs need to be called. I make the decision on what the doc needs to do based on the info I or my aides collect. If I do need more expertise, the doc is very likely to ask me what I think the patient needs. I make decisions on staffing. I would dare say I make more decisions a day than you do a week:)

    And my decisions affect lives, in real time , do yours?
