A wise nurse once told me “if you feel comfortable, you’re doing something wrong.”
Working as a tech and a nurse are 2 different roles that become glaringly obvious once you step into the patients room as a nursing student. As a tech you can walk into the room, see a patient who is supposed to be on a Heart Healthy diet, destroying a Big Mac and fries, quietly shut the door, and go get the nurse. As the nurse if you see this… well there’s no one to grab or pass the responsibility to. You are the nurse so you get to go snatch up the fast food, and argue with an angry patient as you try to explain why they should be more compliant with their diet.
Fun times.
