Re: Dont want my license to cover a certain PCT
Many of the posters here don't have a clue as to the situation you're posting about. I do - I lived it for 13 years.
Stand your ground. By referring to "FA's", I'm going to assume you work for either Fresenius or DaVita. Document, document, document, who you spoke with, don't be afraid to take it to the regional director and higher if need be.
In an outpatient dialysis clinic, those techs DO work under your license, in most states. If she's charting you were notified, then your butt is hanging in the breeze.
The PCT's who have been doing this for years may THINK they know more than the licensed nurses, and some do, but if they want the money they're so resentful of us making, then they need to take their butts back to school and QUIT WHINING ABOUT IT!
It is the licensed nurse's decision, and if the facility administration won't stand behind you, then run as fast as you can.
How's your relationship with the medical director? When I was having an issue with a PCT in my last clinic before I quit, the medical director got wind of some of her shenanigans ('cause I went by his office on my day off and we had a chat) and she was gone within a week. But he and I had that kind of a good working relationship, and he wasn't afraid to stand up to clinic management.
That might be a way for you to go.
Good luck. Been there, done that, the t-shirt has holes in it from being worn so much.
