it goes down the line, for a tech or transporter they dont care because theyre name/license isnt on the line. Nurses are in the middle sometimes, theyre kind liable but soemtimes just dont give a shit. Docs, PA's, NP's have to care because were the ones who can get sued if things go wrong.

Around here, it seems to be a game of "who can I dump my workload on". The nurses I deal with seem to think they're entitled to greatness because they were able to get a two year degree and they didn't like that they had to work while they were doing their clinicals. Why know a thing about EKGs when some underpaid EKG scrub like me can do it for them? Why clean their shit covered patient when they can call in a nurse tech? Why start a line when they can get one of the paramedics to do it. Why get vitals when they can get one of the students to do it for "practice". Why check on their patient when telemetry will call them if something bad happens. Besides, it's cutting into their DrawSomething and Facebook time, and they need to get down to the cafeteria to get some food before there is a line. Nurses aren't the only ones who do this, granted, but they sure act like the most entitled of the groups. I haven't taken the class that teaches that sense of entitlement, but then again, I'm not in the nursing program.

We get that too. I have had nurses spend 20 minutes looking for a tech to do a fingerstick when they easily could have done it themselves. Then I will ask some of the techs to do something and say its not in my area. I tell them its in the ER so it IS part of your area. Our problem is there is no middle ground with our techs. We have a handful that are rockstars and will help me out with anything, even if its not in their area, then the others are hardly worth the oxygen they breathe. They see the others will work hard so that means they can slack off even more.

Our problem is its nursing management whos in charge of them. Most of our charge nurses are useless as managers and our nursing supervisor is even more useless. She tried to write me up fo rgiving an ortho resident some fiberglass to use on a PT across the street at the other hospital. So she triies this in front of her little circle of looser friends. So my response was if you need to do that to justify your existance or make yourself feel important then go for it. She didnt like me much before but that sealed the deal. But a lot of the techs and even nurses loved me for saying it since they hate her her too.

Its sounds like iraq outside and that shits not cool.

My bud from AF said the same thing... said he can't sleep for shit with this.
