Being a ER Tech involves more than feeding patients and removing foley's. They need to start IV's, draw blood, NG Tube placement, montior vitals signs, EKG... and much more. Tech's are the eyes and ears for a nurse with 8 patients, they carry 8-20 patients who they have to be aware of change of LOC, vs, or just general support. I was tech for a very long time I now as a nurse I treasure all my tech's. So, for all you techs out there.....
Thanks
