All,
I may have not been clear on some of my
past post. I got this message so I probaly wasn't
>You know, this original topic has me ready to

clinical picture and wallet, went >to RN school. The only RN that does
not respect a P is the medsurg RN who is afraid of their knowledge base.
But you know, if a P wants to be a >lawyer they go to law school, they want

or ride in some of our teams, why >should the P get special treatment when it
comes to nursing?
TO clarify I don't know which post you're referring to
exactly and unfornately i must make this a short answer but would write more
later.
I agree with you as far if you want to be a RN then
go to school, I did. I don't nor never have advocated that a PM should be
one without additional training. I don't think that a EMT-P that just
graduated with a ASN or BSN or a MSN for that matter should just jump
into a RN slot. But I sure don't think think that a EMT-P should lose their
EMT-P job because they added RN to their list of credentials. That's what the
Higher Level post concerns.
I would also be sadden if you quit the list because
of the topics discussed.
