Mike,
I do not know what you meant by that, but if you read the rest of what I said you would note I am proud to be where I am because of how my program has a great deal of respect for all involved. I also said we had come along way in this profession over the 12 years of my career. It is time for us to stop selling each other short and work with the great attributes we all have to provide good care to our patients. This subject just puts me over the edge. Final word: I am happy to be a nurse who works with a great bunch of paramedics and RNs. I have a learned a great deal from both parties. I do not think I am better than anyone of them, and when I stop learning from my peers it is time for me to leave. Have a nice day!

I guess I am blessed to work in a program where our paramedics and nurses are equally respected for what they do. I am not saying it is always perfect, but Good Lord, we all have our places in this world or we wouldn't be here right now. I have seen RNs treat paramedics like dog food, and I have seen it go the other way, too. All in all, I think it has come along way in the 12 years I have been a nurse. It won't get any better if we keep harboring this resentment amongst ourselves. Don't you think we should be the ones educating the ignorant?

When are these RIDICULOUS battles going to end?
If you want to do nursing tasks, go to nursing school, If the nurses want to do prehospital medicine they have to get a prehospital certification (hence, how many programs require an RN to hold an EMT or P cert)
All these ongoing disagreements do is to further degrade our professions collectively.
