I've really wanted to ask about this. People that have become nurses, how has it compared to being a medic? I've thought a lot about it but I sorry about being an ER robot and only doing what is ordered.I can't give you a good answer, but I'll try. When I was a full-time medic, nurses were generally supportive but some were jealous at the skills we performed. Intubation, crics, needle taps, central lines, etc. They couldn't perform these. We were/are autonomous. However, ER techs now are generally medics working in the ER. Now, as a floor nurse, I have seen that there is a general lack of knowledge as to what a paramedic is and what a paramedic can do. I am moving to the ER soon and I believe that I won't experience the same thing.
