Med Techs in FL

I am a licensed CNA, and a med tech as well. I was reading in THIS forum about med techs making less than $10/hr...and you should know that this is NO LONGER the case. You must be a licensed CNA....which I am, but I make $15/hour. CNA's make $10/hour. Med techs make more because the ALF's do NOT WANT TO PAY LPN's!!! They won't hire RN's either....as it costs them too much money! I plan to keep my active, unencumbered CNA license, and I have YET to have an incident that my DON wasn't already aware of. These don't count as medical errors if your physician gives YOUR resident the wrong med. We are just following orders from the physician, and, if that resident's life is jeopardized by a physician prescribing the WRONG med, it cannot be blamed on me.

    And that right there is why they should hire RN which are capable of not just being pill pushers, but also understand the medication and the effects. An RN would be able to catch the error and confront the Physician about it. This would in many cases save the patients life.

    A Med Tech without the supervision of an RN or Physician is a hazard to patients and a bad taste joke.

    Our med techs are under an lpn in South Carolina, but none are cna's.
