Gosh Mariner, guess you’ve never been hospitalized or with anyone that has, including having a baby. It sounds as if the Phillipino nurses are RN’s. That is a huge difference from a CNA, or certified nurses aid. The CNA’s, granted, take temps etc. RN’s are very highly,scientifically trained. They (we) actually have to check every move a doctor makes to make sure it’s correct. Our knowledge base is enormous. Geeesh
I agree that Nurses get good education in the biological and health sciences, but what, exactly, do they do that requires such knowledge?
