  6. Interviewing for PACU and ICU-PCT positions

    txhusker-SN replied to txhusker-SN's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Also, one more thing. I was wondering if I should ask for my current pay or more if I start at a new facility. Doesn't make sense to start somewhere new only to get paid less right?
