Nurse<3

Haha good point, I think this is the route I will go for now, as I definitely don't want to be on this guy's bad side and would rather be part of a harmonious team :)

Hi everyone! So I started working at a State Hospital in California as an RN, and I'd like some input regarding SPTs. On the unit we will obviously be working closely as a team, and I look forward to working together/having each others' backs. However, I was told by one newly hired SPT that they supervise/are in charge of the RNs...now I understand psych techs are starting to get more responsibilities, but I know that RNs don't answer to senior psych techs (just to make perfectly sure, I double checked with other RNs at the facility). Everyone is great there, but I am a little peeved about this SPT's attitude, and I don't think I will react very nicely if he acts like he can order me around or evaluate my work. I really don't mean to sound bratty, but I am concerned with defending my role as an RN, and would like advice as to how to deal with any friction that may occur! Thanks so much!
