They are with patients (plural) for 8 to 12 hours shifts. but the rheumatologist may see 50 to 70 patients per day, which broadens his scope of knowledge and competence tremendously. While he may not see emergent patients, he was exposed to first aid and emergency procedures during his medical education. And he can give medications, start IVs, or perform a trache without waiting for approval from afar. 70 patients a day? In private practice? Just how much LSD did you take this time? Rheumatologists, ophthalmologists, internists, urologists, otolaryngologists, and a few other subspecialists see that many daily. That's what proper utilization of staff is all about. Most of those practitioners spend two to five minutes on average with each patient, and no time at all with some. Occasionally a patient takes more time and they run behind (typical). I spent four years with a corneal specialist, during which his average daily patient load exceeded 100. Of course my colleagues and I saw most of them while the surgeons just popped in to say "hi" and "that cornea is looking good, Mrs. Johnson" from time to time. How did you think these guys gross in the healthy seven figure range each year? Max |

"Charlie Morgan" wrote in message ... That's not really the whole story behind why there is a nursing shortage. Hospitals used to operate nursing schools to cultivate new nurses. Most of those schools are now gone due to cost cutting measures. . . . and because their students tended to go elsewhere, rendering hospital-based programs inefficient in solving staffing needs. Those schools were a very inviting alternative to motivated, but financially disadvantaged young people who had no way of going to college. In my opinion, nurses who went to those hospital nursing schools had a big advantage over nurses who got their credentials from a college. Nurses from hospital nursing schools worked in the hospital for the entire duration of their education. What they learned in class got used immediately. College trained nurses had substantially less exposure to practical application. This is all true. Despite the higher pay, the number of people going into nursing is dropping rapidly. We have reached the point now, where if the hospitals all re-opened their nursing schools, there would not be enough teachers to staff them. Such programs aren't likely to be reinstituted. Too costly and inefficient, regardless of the nursing shortage. There are myriad nursing programs throughout the country, from LPN programs to two and three year AS programs, and of course the four-year baccalaureate programs. Their enrollments are all declining, and the candidate pool is declining in quality as well. Hospitals are stretched too tight financially these days to reinstitute such programs. Max |

"Bob Crantz" wrote in message What do doctors (GP's) earn? Depends upon locale and demographics. In cities with high demand for good GPs, they can earn half a million (net) easily. In rural America they might struggle five or six days a week for $150K. What does a nurse earn? Again it depends. In underserved cities with great demand, they can receive a $25K sign-on bonus and with evening or night differential earn $100K per year. In most places the average staff nurse on a med-surg flood makes about $50K per year. A Clincal Nurse Specialist in ICU generally will earn around $75K to $100K per year. A busy nurse anesthetist can earn $300K per year, especially if he/she is willing to travel. I think the most underpaid and overworked professionals are teachers and accountants. No one dies if they screw up. They may be overworked and underpaid, but the responsibility factor just isn't the same as in health care. There are always enough nurses at the right price. You should know that money is not the prime motivator in today's workforce. Hours, time off, and job satisfaction are greater motivators. Money is important, but it's consistently #4 or #5 on people's lists. They get paid for that double shift or comp time - right? Of course. In some cases they get time and a half, or even double time pay. But most nurses, excepting those with huge financial burdens, would rather have the time off with family.

Rob is correct that many MD's are not as capable in emergency situations as many nurses. So that would be like "Capt Rob" learning from a real cabin boy..right? That doesn't make them incompetent as Doctors. They just have different strengths or areas of expertise. Some plumbers may also have carpentry skills, and some anesthesiologists may have skills in orthopedics. Critical care and emergency room nurses tend to be generalists, and are used to making very quick and correct decisions on life and death matters under pressure. Indeed they do...not a job I'd wan't to deal with. Pays pretty good. High burnout average and turnover. I bet it's high stress if you have passion towards the people you are treating. Top that off with the million plus people killed in Hospitals from medical mistakes a career wrought with stress. IMO Rob should publish that best seller, or direct a block buster and provide Suzy with a less stressfull life. Joe BB |

When you're single handing? No, when you are single handling you better be sure you are anchored, or tied to a bouy and have a very bright anchor light. Single handling involves a radar watCh and you sleep with the range alaRm set. Or you set an alarm that will wake you on a time that will allow you to prevent collision. In other words set an alarm that will arouse you at brfore your best speed + the fasetet ship on the sea.. My guess the other part of the figuring should be a ship at 30 kts. If you are single handling and sleeping a radar alarm or CPA is needed. jOE |
