[edit] Skills/Procedures + Equipment

I like the idea of this template, but these two section have a MAJOR chance of ballooning out of size very quickly. Any thoughts on that? I think equipment might even be removed, or made into a separate template. Ingolfson (talk) 02:58, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Initially, this was a part of Template:Nursing, and I split it from that. If it needs to be split further in the future, be so. But for now, it is small, and I plan to search for more articles (or some possible future articles to add to it.

My background is as a nurse assistant, a profession I worked in for 13 years in a number of settings. I am most familiar with the terms from my line of work. Others who have been RNs and various technicians may be aware of more. Tatterfly (talk) 05:35, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Really needs some way to focus the equipment, otherwise it such a huge list that template doesn't seem appropriate way to navigate them. For instance, weighing scales and tape measure are basic diagnostic equipment, but used for so many other things that not clear that this template belongs on those pages. Categories already exist for some of this, though could be refined. That or a list seems better way to deal with equipment. Zodon (talk) 05:54, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
