I saw a commercial tonight from Johnson&Johnson with the main tagline of "nurses heal".
Which is funny, because if you're a clinician the saying is, "Nurses comfort, physicians cure." Which aligns with my professional opinion of nurses in general. Glorified errand girls/boys, doing what others tell them.
Did the nurse in the commercial place that venous access? Did they choose the medication given and the amount? Did they diagnose the disease? Nope.
Not saying that nurses aren't good people and great professionals, but I think they believe a little bit too much of their own press and have a tendency to overstate their role.
But then again, I'm the one who failed two years in a row to get into Physician Assistant programs, so what do I know?
