    "My Tech" or "My Aide"

    Lev replied to dreamer30's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    It's possible you haven't been staying at each job long enough (1 year) to really get comfortable with the flow. Also, night shift can mess up your sleep schedule and make you feel miserable. Have you...

    Which pain meds together???
