Ok, I know you are serious and I get it. Can I just say that this post brought a smile to my face and made me laugh tonight? Very comical, and point taken
Well, I am still on orientation in ER so they will not give me any extra shifts, although when it benefitted them(and me) last week I was good enough to call...you know what I mean. A previous...
Even if I know that techs will never take my RN job from me, the more they are qualified/ allowed to do makes them more valuable, and me less valuable...or stated another way; the gap between the 2...
