Heavy work loads and even when there is full staff with techs, the techs do nothing. The department says they only need to do blood sugars and most of the time they do not even do that. You will be trying to do your work and spend most of your shift doing tech work. Taking patients to bathroom, answering call lights, turning and cleaning up patients.

6 patients with primary care
Even if you have an appropriate number of techs. The standard for techs is set really low by the depart. They are allowed to sit at the nurses station and apply to nursing school and do homework while the nurses are running around .Heavy with no help from techs. I was the only one rounding.
Toxic environment. Not travel friendly.
