I work at a hospital.I agree with you that ICU nurses know more stuff then the other floors.They have to though,they deal with people fresh out of the OR,knows how the tricks of the trade.
Nurses are some of the dumbest people alive,some of the stuff will make you say wow ,how the heck did you get pass nursing school ?
I work in supplies at a hospital,some women was talking about something she needed,i was like ok do you have a REF number ? she said what's a REF number.However the worst nurse I ever experience is when a nurse that souned she fresh off the boat from asia called and ask for something,couldn't understand her one bit,and she got piss at me,but then i notice that there like 10 nurses at the hospital the sameway.How can the hospital hire those people ? Because there is a nurse shortage.
I notice though cancer floors and ICU floors know alot more then floors that just there to keep people clean and for them to take their medicine.Would i blame the nurses though? No,blame the doctor,there's only one thing a nurse is scared of,that's a doctor.That's the only way they can get fired.
