I work in the ICU and we work very closely with our RTs. I love my RTs and get along and respect all of them. I even respect and love the RT I'm about to mention, her comment just makes me have more sympathy than anything.
Casually discussing nursing and respiratory education she interjects how her scope is greater than mine and can do more yet still gets paid less even as a head RT. I mean maybe she's bitter because she makes less than the Nurse Clinician 3-5? - and her way of justifying everything is by saying "I get paid less but my scope is larger I can do what you do and more".
Okay sure. I'm not even gonna argue that. I'm sure you can. I'm just a lowly ICU nurse. I wipe booty.... das all guyzzzz.
Peace out.
