NURSES ARE NOT FIRST RESPONDERS?
I am livid...I was told twice by employees of T-mobile that I qualify as a nurse for first responder discount. Today I am told that I do not because I am not an EMT, Firefighter or Police Officer! WHAT???? How are we the "front line" and not considered first responders? That is beyond disrespectful. We bust our humps for our community day in and day out, underpaid and disrespected...yet we cannot even get a discount that others get? SHAME ON YOU TMOBILE!!!!
Because "first RESPONDERS" respond to the scenes of emergencies. Plain and simple. Unless you're a nurse EMT nurse, you NEVER respond. So you're a never responder. From the Mariam Webster dictionary:
miembro de los servicios de emergencia
noun
: a person (such as a police officer or an EMT) who is among those responsible for going immediately to the scene of an accident or emergency to provide assistance
Darn Corey,
Maybe you are unfamiliar with emergency departments where people come in and we respond FIRST, you know鈥ife saving measures?? Or, the fact that many of us DO INFACT respond to scenes when we come upon them. They ride to the scenes, but where do they bring said person? Do they doctor or nurse them to health? Don't try to negate the fact that doctors and nurses VERY MUCH deserve the discount too! Have the day you deserve 馃憦
Because you aren't one!
No? So what do we do when they roll into our ER without the medics? We wait on them or do we RESPOND????
