alas, uncle john, there are still a proportion who panic. in my days as an itu nurse I have known nurses from the general wards refuse even to enter the door of the unit, so unnerved were they. didn't ER have an episode some years ago where management of the US hospital decided to "break" those coming up to their pensions by forcibly transferring them to A&E work in the hope that they would resign? apparently based on fact, that. the worst panickers in my experience are occy health nurses (fifty-seven enraged occy health specialists will now flame this forum). mind you, that said, if I were a victim, sorry, patient, I would rather deal with someone who honestly admits they are out of their depth, rather than some cocky little twit who charges in and makes bad worse.
