You are right we just need to get along. Im a scrub tech. I dont wont to be a Nurse!! Never wont to be a Nurse or take over. I graduated from Louisiana but I work in Texas. Over in Texas a scrub tech must be certified to work. They must attend a accredit college. Texas is the first state require scrubs to be certified in the OR and now they are pushing for Licensed. Even though we are tech. We are slowly coming important. My starting pay was $19.00. Nurse starting pay in texas is$18-20.00. By bestfriend is a Nurse. We work at the same hosiptail. We started at the same time and been there almost 2 years!! The only different she make a $1.50 more than me!!! Many states are pushing for certification. I dont have to do evaluation or run any departments. Just my certification puts a smile on my face. The fact it is needed in some states!!! Eventually all states will require a tech to be Certified to work in the OR. Which cause a major increase in Salary. As long as my salary increasing I dont care what a Nurse do. Im dont wont their jobs, thier patients, are the extensive training. Just knowing that scrubs are not the 1st to get laid off and they are required in some states. Nurses can keep their jobs. Rn are #1 needed. But as time go by and these states keep passing these laws Scrubs will be needed in the OR. Let me Scrub!!!!:w00t:
