Some things are just a mystery, so so is the perceived and important role of intensive care transport [CCT] RN in the health care arena. Other professionals seem to think we are like idiots - a little bit of everything, but certainly not a purebred of anything.
I have heard a colleague describe the work as a matter of magnifying EMT and the bench. This flattery - but what can you do?
Anyway, I just want to set the record directly by pointing out the value and importance of the CCT RN.
It is ironic that this view is that most CCT RNs are nursing nurseries from the ICU or ER, and their certificates give new meaning to the use of acronyms. Many people hold certificates consisting of ACLS, PALS, CCRN, CEN, TNCC, PHTLS, ATLS - anyway - you get the picture.
Not to mention other nurses playing in the sun on the rest day; we often sit in a hot, claustrophobic classroom to seek more knowledge. In addition, extensive training is provided before we even allow patient contact, including airway management, advanced life support, managing portable ventilators, pharmacology and trauma programs.
Just like in all areas of care, the amount of information you invest in is huge, and sometimes it can be a bit too much. Of course, you must learn all, then repeat it verbatim and return to the lecturer.
Of course, the rear limit of the ambulance is just a small ER. Believe me, there is no such thing as a claustrophobic CCT RN. Standard equipment includes: intravenous infusion pumps, pulse oximeters, monitors, airway equipment and drug pharmacies. Almost all lifesaving procedures are available here - CCT RN is trained to prepare for anything.
To be honest, to be realized in the real world, CCT RN must be smart, smart, and fast. Murphy's super-driving rules are the norm, so a solid foundation and intensive training based on intensive care is ready for CCT RN.
On the downside, no matter what the training and experience, you can't be fully prepared, but no matter what the situation, the key is to always maintain the continuity of care from the hospital. In most cases, patient care and improvement in outcomes are primarily due to this 1 to 1 ratio.
This is an exciting and personally rewarding profession that defines the care of a patient at a time. On the other hand; sometimes, it may be a thankless job, but like our contemporary professionals, we are all in the same team, with the same goal - taking care of the patients and getting them to the next stage of recovery as soon as possible.
Remember, we are not stupid, so the next time the CCT RN crosses your path, it will throw us bones in a respectful manner - not dog biscuits.
