[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They're a glorified NA. I've met and had care from some awesome nurses but I've also had some that if they were the last nurse on the planet, I still wouldn't let them touch me or my kid.[/quote] NA = nursing assistant? One of my biggest peeves as a RN is when those who aren't nurses call themselves nurses. I've met family and friends of patients who go to great lengths to make sure I know they're a "nurse" only to find out they are a unit clerk, phlebotomist, lab/patient care tech, dental hygenist, or an administrative assistant in a medical office. It's usually these types who will try to intimidate the bedside nurse by picking apart everything the bedside nurse is doing or taking issue with what a true nurse knows is standard, safe nursing practice. :roll: [/quote]
