It doesn't take a genius to check and calculate a person's pulse. In a more serious situation this person could have seriously endangered the friend by refusing help.
So true, TMedStud. My two best friends are a nursing student and a nurse with 8 years under her belt. The 8yr nurse does a lot of eye rolling at the n00b....
Odd, I've had nurses take my blood on two separate occasions. Once when the person who was supposed to do it couldn't find a vein and once when the guy who was doing it messed up and jammed the needle all the way through the vein.
GOING to school for nursing and ACTUALLY BEING a nurse are two completely different things. I wouldn't let someone who was going to school for nursing prescribe me medications. They can take my pulse, but they're vitals and IV people, not doctors.
