After my heart attack, When I was in intensive care, and on the floor, all checkups were done by a Dr in residence, only nursing was the lady that gave me the pills, and took the blood. And they were checked up on by the residence. No ICU nurses, a RN here does not exist as you know it. Stuff normally done by an RN in the USA is done by a doctor. This was at CEDIMAT in Santo Domingo. Plaza de Salud
When I had my elbow operated on here, the Dr. even done the dressing each day, only time the nurse done it the Dr. looked and it and redone it.
Hillbilly correct me if I am wrong but they have three levels here, but they are not CNA, LPN, AND RN OR CHARGE NURSE. they are bad worse, and bed pan changers,
