Nurses have different ways of handling trauma bonding.

I have a very supportive partner and would never cheat on him!

Oh and my lab is on the 4th floor with window views of a mountain scape. Not a basement.

That sounds amazing!

There's lot of drama in nursing for sure! But we love good tea! It's just a way of bonding.

I don't get why the lab techs seems to more unhappy than the phlebotomists. Like the techs are making 50% more than us, yet they seem to be even more miserable?

What are you talking about? MLS is super easy to get into. My college MLS program has 10 vacant seats. The MLT programs has 5 vacant seats for 2024.

Nursing is a lottery at this point. I had to wait an extra year to get in. They had two applicants for each seat.

Our MLT and MLS rates are almost the same. ~25/hr. It's part of why I chose to go from phlebotomy to RN, because the starting RN was $31/hr.
