I have always loved being a nurse. I enjoy helping people and I can give them a break for their bad behavior most times because they are sick. Many patients and families are very grateful for the care they receive. My only regret is that I did not get my BSN. I have a Diploma in nursing and a fair amount of hospitals are not hiring diploma nurses anymore. I think we are a valuable part of the nursing team and on the other hand I can understand that hospitals want BSN nurses. So it's my mistake.

We also have a Tech Manager and we don't like it either but we are treated like step children and what we think should happen seldom does. I feel your pain. We too have someone who is supposed to advocate for us in nursing but it doesn't happen. She is willing to listen to us but there is no change. I have been in Radiology Nursing for 25 years and we have made some improvement but not near enough.
