"Be nice to the Nurses. We keep the doctors from accidentally killing you."
― A Random Patient
Introduction
The Nurse is in charge of overseeing that each and every patient has been prepped and healed enough for their visit to the Doctor. Your goal is to assist wherever needed in Medbay and provide helping hands to anyone who needs it. Much like a real Nurse, however with additional tasks.
Duties
Like said before you are essentially a tad above a Squad Medic. You get access to do little more than them, but less than a Doctor. You will find yourself double checking patients that are sent up, prioritizing treatments, basically getting Marines ready for more advanced First Aid. You can do things such as:
- Perform Chemistry duties.
- Use the Cryo Tubes.
- Provide First Aid.
- Give Medications.
- Transfer Blood.
- Assign Holo Tags.
- Provide aid in Triage.
- Treat basic Wounds and Infections.
- And Assist Doctors wherever needed.
Equipment
As a Nurse you have access to the exact same equipment that any Doctor or Medic has. However, does this mean you can use some advanced tools, no.
What can I use? As a Nurse you can use:
- Cryogenic Tubes.
- Chemistry Dispensers.
- IV Drips.
- Defibrillators.
- Any Autoinjector and Pill Bottle.
- Advanced Trauma Kits and Burn Kits.
- Health Scanners.
- and Body Scanners.
So as you can see from this basic list, you can use all the same equipment as a medic and almost as much as a Doctor. So what is the difference from Doctor and Nurse? The answer is that the Nurse role is meant to be an interim training role for newer players who don't want the stress of Squad Medic or the more advanced procedures of a Doctor.
Essentially, what can I not do? You cannot:
- Perform Surgery.
- Conduct Research.
- Use Autodocs.
Rank Structure
While in Medbay their is no Military Ranking like the Marines, you do still have order to follow. As a Nurse you should find yourself listening to Doctors mostly; as they will be the ones working closest to you. However, the CMO will be there to give you direction on what course of action they preffere most.
So in the end the Chief Medical Officer has complete control of the department and final say on everything that takes place within it.
Getting Started
As soon as you wake up from Cryo bay you should head down to Medbay. This is located to the right of the Hangar and West of the Brig. Upon arrival you should gather your things as quick as possible, you have around 20ish minutes until the department will become flooded.
So first thing you should do is wander into the medical storage room to the bottom left corner of Medbay. There you will be able to grab any gear that you need for your day.
- Medical Hud's.
- Lifesaver Belts.
- Emergency Defibrillators.
- Advanced First Aid Kits.
- Latex Gloves and Sterile Masks.
- Health Scanners.
- Blood Dispensers.
- Personal Closets.
- And Medical Dispensers.
Essentially everything stated you can find in this room.
