I feel you on this. I've been a tech in CCU for 2 years ( grad from rn schoolin may finally!) and i know there are techs who either downright refuse to do things, or are so surly or slow the nurses just wait for the next tech to come rather be bothered w said lazy/surly tech. This is a bad situation for all, i know when I work after some techs, I have to tx 3 pts at beginning of shift, stock all the carts, clean everybody, hunt down iv pumps etc. b/c the nurses know i'll do it and wont complain. However, some people forget one tech is stretched pretty far w 16 very sick pts and 8 nurses....
