   txhusker-SN replied to MommaTy's topic in Technicians

   just an f.y.i. i wouldnt divulge in to what you make, in to too much detail, some companies/hospitals have policies that you should not discuss what you get paid, and depending on the place it can lead to termination, hence you have your photo as you...

   txhusker-SN replied to txhusker-SN's topic in Technicians

   Also, one more thing. I was wondering if I should ask for my current pay or more if I start at a new facility. Doesn't make sense to start somewhere new only to get paid less right? :)
