Nursing saves the day again!

Prior to going to NTI this past week, I had joked that it was going to
be the safest place in the country because of all the critical care
nurses in town.
Well who knew it was such a predictive statement!
About 5 hrs. Ago while convention shuttles were bringing nurses to the
convention center, they witnessed a man get hit by a car. The bus
driver exclaimed this loudly and the nurses jumped into action. They
assesed the guy, and he had no vital signs. They quickly instituted
CPR and were able to get him back! As far as we know, he has survived
this accident.
The bus driver was just in awe of these everday heroes and couldn't
wait to share what she had seen. I only found out about it because bus
manager came on to the bus we were on and told us about it. Once again
nurses were in the right place and at the right time to save life.
Kind of makes a person proud to be in this profession!
